I'm planning on getting two ducks and a goose soon, I can't decide what to feed them since I can't get any waterfowl feed near me (other than 5 pound bags but that is too expensive), mazuri is what I want to ideally feed them but the cost is hard to afford, so I'll probably have to do chicken feed, please let me know what you think is the best option
 
Lots of people, including me feed either All flock Feed or Purina Raiser Feed, they are both around the same cost of layer feed. No need to dilute the all flock with scratch either, it has all the essentials they need.
Thank you! But I have a question, all flock has a 20% protein (at least the one I currently feed my hens) and I thought ducks/ geese could develop angel wings if they have above a 15/16% protein level in their teenager age, is that something to worry about or is it like a rare thing or something? Thank you for help!
 
Many people on here have been feeding 20% protein feed with no problems, I have not had one case of angel wings with my birds. I have visited many farms over the years and witnessed angel wing and many of the owners were actually feeding them to low protein, scratch grains/corn.

Good to know! Thank you so much!
