Can i feed ducklings unmedicated chick starter crumble?

[Silkie2]

exactly what the title says. Im currently raising chicks right now and am getting ducklings very soon. Can i feed them the same crumble? I haven’t raised ducklings in awhile (this will be my 2nd time)
Getting cayuga and blue swedish

You can but you’ll need to supplement for the niacin that is lacking in the chick crumble. I like to use Nutritional yeast you just sprinkle 1 Tab I’ve each cup of feed you give your ducklings. Water fowl need more niacin than what is in chick feed.

Broiler starter is a good option if you cannot get actual duck starter.

Ducklings can have medicated or non-medicated chick feed. If the feed contains amprolium and/or bacitracin it is safe for ducklings.

and @Miss Lydia is correct, if it's a chick starter you should supplement niacin.

I feed a starter that is for Chickens, Geese, Ducklings and Turkeys.
