My new Ducklings won't eat, drink, or play in their little bath. Help?

Miss Lydia, how long does it take for wet feed to spoil? I don't want to leave my ducks overnight with spoiled food..

If your wetting put a teaspoon of ACV say per cup of feed before giving it to them that will keep it from spoiling. I make Fermented feed for my flock and the main ingredient is Hot water and ACV mixed together and mixed into the feed.

Hello! Just thought I'd throw in two cents. I'm using the same exact food you are with my ducklings

They like it fine, so I don't think your feed is the problem. Hope I helped eliminate one problem! Good luck to you and your little ones

Quote: The "no medicated feed for ducklings" is an old wives tales that originated back in the day when different drugs were used, and those drugs were toxic to waterfowl. Modern medicated starters usually contain amprolium and/or bacitracin, and both of those are okay for ducklings.
