Duck breed help

[shelly17]

I believe my ducks are on chick starter, is there a certain brand of brewers yeast I need to get or will any of them work? I truly appreciate your help.

Yes any brand will work as long as its just brewers yeast or nutritional yeast

And your welcome.

Oh and i dont think i asked... but make sure your chick starter is not medicated.... im guessing it is not, since your ducklings are doing good.
But medicated is real bad for ducklings

Thanks for asking, no its not medicated I was recently given two ducklings, from a friend who couldn't keep them and one of them has weak legs she said they were from Tractor supply. I got my other 4 at a local feed store and have never had leg issues so I wasn't sure if it was genetic or not, he also slurps his food which I have also never seen with my others.

Okay good. Sounds to me like your doing a good job! He may have just not had a good diet at first and not enough exercise.
Our tractor supply keeps them too hot and too confined and only chick feed. And not deep water. I always feel bad for them

Thank you , I feel bad for the ones at Tractor supply as well I also see dead ducks and chicks it's really sad.

Can anyone help identify the breed of my ducks? They are between 3-4 weeks... I thought Cayuga?
Thank you!
