What do you feed baby ducks

[bilbothebanty]

Hi I am a newb to ducks. I have a mother duck setting on eggs and this morning I went in and there are at lest two babies

. I am not sure what to feed them, I have chicks do I just give the ducklings the same feed as the chicks? Also she is in a pen with five other ducks should I separate her or will it be ok.
Thanks

Tractor Supply Co, Purina Flock Raiser for $16.99 for a 50 pound bag.

I dont have a Rural King or Farm and Fleet near me but I just looked on their websites and I dont see it. Hopefully someone who shops one of those store will chime in.

I also use Flock Raiser crumble it is so much easier to use instead of different feed for different age groups.

If you go to the Purina website it states Flock Raiser is for all ages. From hatch till ..

For Flock Raiser, do you have to add a Niacin supplement?
I forgot to look at the label yesterday when I went to TSC to see if it had Niacin in it.
I can't seem to find it online on the Purina Mills site.
