In a moment of cloudy headedness... I purchased organic game bird feed for the ducklings I ordered (not yet received the birds). I'm wondering if I can give them this or if I should use it for my 9 week old chicks and go buy the ducklings non-medicated chicken starter? This is 26% protein.
Thanks for the help!

This is what I bought...

DO NOT FEED MEDICATED CHICK FEED!
I have raised TONS of ducks and did clear research and saw this with my own two eyes.
This feed in particular is a killer to ducks.Ducks for some reason cannot have Antibiotics,or medicated chick feed.Regular feed would work just fine,and so will the feed yoy have suggested.
 
I wouldn't give them medicated feed, I've read lots of warnings about that .. I don't give my chicks medicated either (that's part of the reason I've been raising my own!!) but I appreciate the warning!

I was mostly concerned about the super high protein content (26%) possibly harming the ducks??? The books/articles I've read have been recommending 20-22%.

Thanks!
