Duck Maintenance and Duck Starter Mix, What is the difference?

[tia]

Just ordered Duck Starter Mix for Call Ducklings that are about to hatch and they sent Duck Maintenance. What is the difference? Would it be okay to feed the maintenance?

What brand?

What brand?

It is made in Alaska. I guess I could call them because they sent the wrong one. I will do that and ask them what the difference is. I had it shipped 300 miles, so not sure I can get the other one here in time for the hatch.

The %protein is likely different. There may be other differences as well. I agree that the best thing would be to call the company.

Does it list the protein content? I suspect the protein is much lower than a starter, so it is not something you want to feed for more than a couple of days. What other feeds can you get in your area?

I have to have everything shipped. There is nothing here.

Probably best to get a starter there ASAP.
