Last Friday I picked up 4 pekin babies and will be adding 2 muscovies in a few days. I searched high and low for a duck starter feed and couldn't find one. I found one store that carried duck grower, but they told me my babies are too young for that, and sold me the purina flockraiser. My...
Looking for a trio, or close to that, of pekin ducklings. We're located in Chesterton, Indiana can travel reasonable amount. Straight run ok. Just let me know price.
