I am interested in knowing about the spent grains from the brewery. My neighbor has a regular supply from his brewery and it would be great if I could use it to supplement their feed.

This is something that I have just started doing with my ducks. Currently, my boyfriend has been giving me just under five gallons ( in a five gallon bucket) of the spent malted barley.I am interested in knowing about the spent grains from the brewery.

So how much food do you go through a month?I didn't know we were suppose to ration it, I just make sure their feeders are always full..
Yes I think three times a day should be enough. Right now I really only do one large feeding in the evening before I put them in at night. I let them out in the morning and I rip up lettuce and other leftover greens in the fridge or from the greenhouse and let them forage. Sometimes I throw some mealworms in the grass for them to find. I've found that if I free feed, i lose quite a bit of food and money to other animals like crows, chipmunks, and it encourages rats to come out during the day and venture to the food. ( haven't had an issue with rats yet this year....)I try not to feed them in the same place they sleep, to keep rats and mice out of their sleeping area.After my ducklings are 6 weeks old, I can start to feed them 3 times a day correct?
Apparently Mazari waterfowl...Does anyone use custom feed that is premixed for them from a feed store? The stores around where I live only sell chicken feed. When I had ducklings I would supplement with niacin in their water, but I was wondering if anyone had any luck finding a business that sells food just for ducks.
MAZURI WATERFOWL FEEDApparently Mazari waterfowl...
Can you tell me if there is niacin in it and if so..what percentage if you don' mind please?Not available everywhere. I have never seen it in any feed stores around my neck of the woods. But an alternative is Purina Flock Raiser it is formulated for all poultry so those of us with other poultry besides water fowl can feed it to them from hatch till end of life.
