duck questions?

[Duck mommy 2019]

ok so originally we have always fed our ducks corn because that’s what my parents got for them. we fed our first group it from like 6 weeks (before that they got chick started) until now at like 1 year old. i know it’s not healthy, so i decided to start getting them normal duck feed. is purina flock raiser good?

Yes

can i feed it to the boys and girls? my girl is still only like 3.5 months old but i don’t want her to die from egg problems

Yes, just provide crushed oyster shell on the side.

Since you've only got ducks you could also use Purina Duck Pellets. They are good for both drakes and girls. Once the girls start laying you need to provide a separate bowl with oyster shells in it. The girls will eat it when they need it.
