Dont have baby duck food, what can I feed my ducklings? *pictures**

[featherfinder]

Peas should be fine just for the day. Not as a complete diet though.

Yeah, Ill just give them some until about 3 or so, when I can get out to town.

A friend used medicated chick starter and lost all the ducklings.

Aren't all medicated chick starters the same?

I may get bashed but I always use medicated chick starter and have never lost any ducklings. They do great on it.

Did you not have 28 days notice that you would probably need food for your ducklings when they hatched?

 

[DuckLover2399]

The first couple of days you need to put a paper towels or a towl over the shaveing so they dont eat them.

I've raised my call ducklings on medicated chick starter for years with no ill effects. Helps protect them getting coccidiosis the same as it protects chicks.

Duck eggs would be fine, from what I am told. Certainly peas would give them calories, which they need. I was just trying to think of something digestible that would give them a wider range of nutrients and protein.

You won't get bashed by me......the old time medications they used in chick feed could hurt ducks, but it's a falsehood that just won't die that the amprolium will hurt them.​
