Best for ducklings?

@HollowOfWisps
I agree with the rock like calcium they call crushed oyster shells
None of my ducks will touch them
But they gobble the actual crushed oyster shells
I also don’t have egg shell issues using these.

Thank you! And do you use Kalmbach's Flock Maker for the babies, layers, and adults? And am I supposed to make it a mash?

I got mine on ebay, it was just from someone who made them themselves- not the best quality but they work, so there for emergencies

Thank you
I will try to look and see what I can find

Also based on the reviews I think some people are injecting themselves with one of the animal things; Like what is this??

I'm curious how to treat ducklings, that have hatched under their Mom. I've always bought them in the past, but this time we let Mom take over. Do I use a heat lamp on the area of her nest? They just hatched out yesterday. It is still cold here and not expected to get any better for a while. They are in a barn and Mom built her nest between two hay bails. Thanks

So is the amount of protein and niacin in Kalmbach's Flock Maker suitable to feed to them for their whole lives?

So will they ever need shavings in the brooder?
