Duck feed?

[shawluvsbirds]

Man, you are having a hard time with supplies lately. I just get the pine flakes from tsc.

I know right lol.
Well I can get pine shavings at the my feed store down the road so that's not a big deal. . I just really liked a specific kind they used to carry that was for horses. No dust hardly at all. The local stuff I get is dirtier and sometimes has big chunks in it. And it's 2 dollars more for less.

Here is the label from my new all flock bag if anyone is interested.

Interesting because the website still states 18%. Maybe contact Nutrena see what is up.

Well my baby ducks are doing great. They are at least double the size of when I got them. The new ones are 2 weeks old and so small, not sure what to do with them. Found out the lady I got them from only feeds them cracked corn

What are you feeding the older ones? You probably should Give the little ones some good niacin my choice is nutritional yeast

the older ones are about 4-5 weeks now. Well supposedly. They get 18% flock feed made onto a slop. They go nuts over it. Can you get the yeast at Walmart?

That’s such a shame they were only getting cracked corn. A lot of folks think that is good wholesome feed but they cannot grow and be healthy on that diet as your seeing. I’d feed them what your feeding your older ones and add the niacin in what ever form you like just to keep any issues from cropping up

Can you show me what you use? I just did a search and all I can find is nutritional yeast seasoning and I don’t think the ducks we like the “cheesy” flavor

 

[Lil Drake40]

I think unless you order online you’ll have to go to health food store or Whole Foods or go to spice section at gro store and buy Braggs nutritional yeast

I order on Amazon in bulk

She was a older lady with too many animals, I don’t think she could afford good feed. She had about 80 ducks, and pairs of turkey, & pheasant, and tons of pigeons.
