Duck diet and tips please!

[taywalt]

Hi everyone! I’m a new duck mom and am looking for helpful hints and tips on how to make sure my babies grow up big and strong. They’re 6 weeks right now almost 7. I have them on 20% protein chick food. I did some reading and found that I should get niacin for them, so will definitely be doing that in the morning. I also have electrolytes and probiotics in their water, and am unsure if and when I shouldn’t give that to them anymore. They are two pekin ducks named Sugar and Honey. Thanks everyone!

Welcome to BYC, sorry no one replied. Can you get some Purina Flock Raiser or Nutrena All Flock?

I would also post this in the ducks forum in BYC. More people will help.
