A Crash Course on Brooding Ducklings

There was a lot of good information, but there were things that weren't fully explained.

For instance, if you're feeding beef liver, is it meant to be cooked or uncooked? Shouldn't the ducks be given grit to help with digestion if they're getting something besides crumble? What if you can't find feed with niacin? Is there a good supplement to add to unmedicated chick starter? Is there an ideal protein content for duck food vs. chickens?

The most useful bit was about the bedding since the bedding I'm using for chicks won't be a good option for ducklings. As an aside, Coco coir is also a bit expensive, but it is a more sustainable alternative to peat moss.
Well written article!
I found this very informational and educational. I liked the pictures and explanations, which left no questions, and pros and cons of each product. Nice job!
Nice introduction to brooding ducklings! Thanks for sharing your experience. It would be nice to see more photos of a proper brooder set-up
