Flock raiser is good food I use it and others on here also. How old are the ducks?Hi everybody! I'm new to ducks, I have a whole herd of chickens though. Lol. My husband got me four ducks (and 13 chickens) as my anniversary present ( I know, sooo romantic) and I honestly have no idea what to do with them! They have a pool, but they're currently housed with my chickens. Can I free range them with the chickens? I stopped at TSC today and was told to get flock raiser because it has more of the B vitamins ducks need than the layer feed. Is this correct? The duckies are adorable, and I definately wanted to get some, but I REALLY wanted to do more research before actually getting them. And on top of everything else, all but one of them still has fluff on their backs and bums so I have no idea if these are male or female. I will try to get some pics up tomorrow, if it ever stops raining.
http://members3.boardhost.com/shilala/msg/1140567112.topHello all! We are first timers to duck ownership. We have had our sweet girls since they hatched May 1st, now 3 months old. We have 2 welsh and 2 khaki's and next week 2 lovely runners that will be hatching! Yay! We live in Virginia and I want to do 2 things in order to be properly prepared. I want a duck first aid kit and a number for an experienced Vet that we can call. Can anyone help? We are located near the panhandle of WV can be in harpers ferry wv in minutes, Frederick md in 30 minutes, leesburg va in 45 minutes. Can anyone suggest a Vet and/or provide a list for a first aid kit? Thanks!

Are they domestic mallards or another breed? probably somewhere in the 5-6 week range.I'm not sure, my husband bought them and didn't ask.They have all their breast and winf feathering but still have fluff on their backs and bums. They are roughly the size of wild mallard females currently and they eat almost as much as my cornish cross.
Most ducks begin laying around 5-6 months of age.at what age should aylesbury ducks start to lay at
