duckling question

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

I wanted to know what to feed the ducklings and mother after the ducklings are hatched? I have been feeding my ducks  chicken feed,,for egg layers. Is this ok for the young to? Or should I feed them chick starter? They're in the enclosure with their mother,so whatever she eats.they will too..thanks :)

Since it's a mother and duckling Flock Raiser would be perfect for both of them

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?
