I feed gamebird starter to my quail and chicks/ducklings. After 2 weeks I start adding oatmeal to the ducklings food until it's 50/50 with the gbs. Sometimes this is what the chickens get, except mixed with scratch, sometimes everyone but the quail and babies get flockraiser. I try to feed everyone the same as much as possible, less different kinds of food to store.
ooh Maybe I will have to try the gbs/oatmeal. Hmm.....
I have started and raised my ducks with purina start n grow (unmedicated), which is 18%. Unfortunatley, when my last set of anconas were 3 weeks old, my feed store was out of that feed and I got the 20% flockraiser. After 2 weeks, my drake developed angelwing. The mazuri starter I just bought specifically for waterfowl is 20%, but also states to switch to grower at 3 weeks. I think the key to remember is 20% is fine for the first 3 weeks, but it is important to cut back protein at that age to avoid angelwing.
yes, I remember you saying that. I will try to stay away from that due to your experience.
