5-7 Week old Duck food? ?

[Bill83]

Hey guys,

I have 4 ducks 2 pekin, 2 KC they are roughly 5-6 weeks old, They have been outside of the house in their new pen for about 4 days now. They have been on the dumor starter/grower. They get pea's for treats but we are trying to figure out what to feed them moving forward. Should i continue with the dumor ? I am almost done with the 2nd 50 pound bag. At what age should we swap them to a pellet? and which food is good? I don't mind paying more for a better food.

It tells you right on the back of the Dumor bag. I can't remember exactly off hand but I know it's on the bag.

I feed all flock Grower finisher all the time.

An all flock is another since it can be fed entire lives with oyster shell on the side for layers. It will show on the bag for all poultry.

oyster shell on the side for layers.

Do you mix this into the food ? or put it in another feeder? Also do I still need to be mixing brewers yeast into their all flock ?

Oyster shell on the side. Since you have Pekins consider adding brewers or nutritional yeast for a few months. They have lots of leg issues due to weight and the yeast will help make them strong.
