Help! Feed for my ducklings?

[Danny_tb]

What type of feed should I be giving my 3 week old ducklings?

You can try to find duckling feed or feed unmedicated chick starter with supplemental niacin.

You can feed them a chick starter or something like Purina Flock Raiser. You will likely need to add brewers yeast or something else to supplement niacin.

I used Flock raiser with some niacin in their drinking water every other time I changed it.

X2. Duckling feed, Mazuri, or an all flock like Purina Flock Flock Raiser would be best, but if you can't get those, get a chick starter and supplement with niacin because chick starter does not have enough niacin for ducklings.
