Hi all. I have a pair of 8 week old ducks that will soon be living outside with three older sisters. The younger ducks are still on 18% protein feed, but my older ones are on layer feed. What should I do to make sure the younger ducks get enough protein, while making sure the older ones don't get too much?
 
At 8 weeks you should be dropping them to 15% feed. Too much protein will give them angel wing. The only ones I keep on high protein are the ones I eat.
 
I thought you kept them on 18% until they laid their first egg?
