I would love to join! However, I need to get updated pictures of everyone. I have 2 Muscovies and 3 Rouens. They are all hens. They are well loved, even though they can test my patience at times!

Can I join?

I am new to ducks. I got 2 ducklings last august, 1 choc runner and 1 blue runner. Their names are Coco Bean and Kiwi. I have had chickens for five years but the ducks are so different. They are so much fun, so social and comical. I have already ordered 2 welsh harlequins for this spring. I think they will be happier with more ducks.

So I got some 4 week old ducks a few weeks ago, and they are doing great on the grower feed I have and eating plenty of grit. But I am wondering if I need different baby duckling food and different grit for them. I figured this would be the place to ask.

I used a duck food that said it was good for all stages, but the pellets were a bit big so I used a rolling pin to break them up a bit. I also used chick grit which is a bit smaller. With the food it’s the niacin content you need to watch. Ducks need niacin and it’s not in chicken feed.

If anyone is interested, I wrote an article about setting up my duck house and ponds. When I started researching duck houses, ponds, etc. I couldn’t find much. I found a lot about chicken coops and runs, but duck info was a hard to find. Anyway, I had a greenhouse that was very underutilized so I converted it into the duck house and now the chickens are jealous. They sneak in there every chance they get.
