So I am back again on the topic of ducks and ducklings. Last year I didn't quite know enough about the care of ducks & ducklings to adequately care for them, but I feel a lot more prepared now after spending a large chunk of my time tearing through articles and other blogs here. But still I feel that I am not really educated about what to feed these new ducklings. I have heard multiple views on what to feed them and what not to. I know that they need extra niacin in their diet, and that they will need constant access to water especially when feeding, but as for starter feeds I have no clue. I'm not sure where to find a feed with the right amount of protein and nutrients. All of my local feed stores just sell chick starter feed, and I am afraid that they won't be able to get the correct amounts of protein from that. If anyone has any suggestions or can tell me what they do for their ducklings/ducks it would make me a very happy camper. (And any other advice for keeping these feathered friends is appreciated as well)
