Best duck feed?

[Quackodile]

We have a 5 week old duckling who currently has Dodson and Horrells chick crumb with added nutritional yeast.

At what age does she need a proper waterfowl food? Does anyone have suggestions as to which one to go for?

Some members have started feeding Purina duck pellets @DuckyDonna

At what age should she know from chick crumb?
Should she be fed a vitamin or supplement too?

I usually start all my birds ducklings and chicks on Purina flock raiser. That can be fed from hatch till end of life and oyster shell for when females begin to lay. I’m not sure when to start the duck feed since I have a mixed flock I can’t feed just for ducks.

My local TSC carries it, but it sells out swiftly. GC

I'm in the UK so it might be something I can order off Amazon or see if our local feed store can order it in.
I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they can do. Fingers crossed

If you can’t get the duck feed just go with grower finisher and keep up with Niacin supplement like Nutritional yeast sprinkled over her feed
