are you supposed to put the ducks food like crumble or pellets in the water, keep water near the food or what??

Thanks. We have a lot of international members on here and so it helps. You should have Tractor Supply of Rural King etc., So we will know what products to recommend and be able to tell you where to get them.
 
For feed I would recommend flock raiser crumbles, you can probably easily obtain them. Chicken food does not have enough niacin for ducklings. Purina duck pellets also work, you will just need to crush them for a couple of weeks for the little guys. Also get a small bag of chick grit. Not poultry grit but chick grit, you won't need it for a week or so, but you will want to feed them treats.
 
ok thanks because right now i have thee foods that will be ordered
-Solgars Brewers Yeast Powder, 14 oz
-Healthy Harvest Non-GMO 22% Protein Chick Starter Grower Crumbles
-Kalmbach Feeds All Natural 18% Protein Start Right Chick Feed 25 lb
-Manna Pro Suck Layer Pellets 16% High Protein For Increased Egg... etc
do you think this food is fine for the ducks and if it is or isnt wat else should i get for them
 
None of these are the best and don't give them la yer feed. That's for ducks laying eggs and has too much calcium for chicks. Google Purina Flock Raiser Crumbles, or Purina duck pellets, Manna pro all flock you can feed them chick starter but you will have to supplement a lot of niacin. Better to get a good feed is formulated to be fed to waterfowl.

Also, I would order nutritional yeast instead of brewers. They have it in little bags at Trader Joe's for about $3. I think you have TJs there and it's just enough for two little ones.
 
i dont wanna sound super harsh or lazy but can u list me all the food that you recommend and will be needed for the ducklings even when they grow up (the past two days ive been online for about 9-10 hours struggling and stressing out which food is best for my future pet ducks and searching if this has the right amount of protein, niacin, and nutrients
 
but if u dont have time right now to do it then thats ok... i can just search wat u recommended for my future ducklings-duck pets and see wat i can find
