Where can I buy duck food?
My pekin and my black runner are a month old today (happy semi-birthday to them!). A few days ago I switched them to Purina duck pellets (grower) after they had been on non-medicated chick feed as recommended by a TSC employee.

When I come into the room, they immediately come lay at the front of their cage until I let them out. That’s what they were doing in that picture, especially because i’d just changed their water. I do monitor the temp closely and watch their body language to make sure they’re doing okay. Also... -

Thank you for responding so quickly! In all of my rambling I forgot to add that they've been getting supervised swimming time at least 1-2 times a day. I've let them swim twice today. Every time they get wet I make sure to dry them off as best I can and keep an eye on them while they dry off in... -
Baby duck possibly ill? Please give advice!
So... I have been lurking on this site for quite some time throughout the 12 days i’ve owned ducklings. I am definitely one to freak out at the smallest sign of illness or issue in my animals- and I have SO MANY questions. Bare with me while i give some background but for now, i’m going to try...
