6 ducklings month worth of food

[farmincity]

I ordered 6 runner duckling from Royal King which will be here in 12days. I will be keeping all 6 together for the first month then 4 will go to their new home. So how much and type of food should I buy to last all month for the 6 ducklings?

A bag of purina non-medicated, natural start and grow should last, or just nondedicated start and grow will do, doesn't have to be natural, just recommended

Thank you for our reply. I need to get enough for the month so I do not have to make a trip to the feed store mid month.

I got the 50 lb bag of flock raiser and it lasted my 4 ducklings around 6 weeks, if I remember correctly. Now they blow through food like crazy since they are are laying.

I bought the 50lb Flockraiser and supplemented with additional niacin by adding brewers yeast. I had 11 duckllings and the 50 lb lasted me about 4 weeks.

Well, as long as you have storage more is better than less. Start with 2 bags and see how far that gets you?
