Thanks guys !
No I won’t be having a drake ,just 3 khakis .

Do you have an amount per bird I should be giving ?

Amount of what? Feed 1 cup per bird per day (once older). But, while young free feeding all day long. Water available at all times.
Yeast - 1 tablespoon per cup of feed.

I just keep feed out all day long for my flock of birds I feel my layers need the extra nourishment to lay those eggs.

How young are they? Might be too small for a wading pool just yet. A dish of water will do if day olds.

the pool area is behind a gate , they will only swim while I’m on duty , don’t worry

3 months is a good age hopefully they will settle in quick. Enjoy!!

They have a feed with 32% protein? Never seen that before.

Ducks require a feed with 55 mg/kg of niacin. Check the label on your feed to see what it has and supplement as needed.

That is just the minerals to add to home mixed feed. You big huge bags of grains and add like a cup of this stuff , I don’t do it ... too much work
