Can ducklings eat medicated chick starter feed?

Amprolium is absolutely safe for ducks. It was the old medicated chick starter of many decades ago that ducklings couldn't have. Information seems to be lagging about 40 years behind reality. Old wives tales get repeated over and over just like they are the truth.
 
I was told, I think from someone on here a while back not to use medicated for the ducks. I have been afraid to try it.

I was too, the guy at the feedstore said not to. But I just raised a bunch of Muscovy ducklings with a batch of chicks and didn't have any problems with the feed.​
 
The medicated chick starter is fine for both baby chickens and ducklings.. as Oregon Blues said in the post, a longggg time ago it wasn't good but its fine now. I also use it and have no problems. Good luck with your little ones, ~Julie~
