Hi, all!
I was hoping for some clarification on feeding my ducklings. I have read many of the posts that have been written about feeding ducklings and giving them treats. I'm still a little unclear as to whether or not I need to feed my ducklings brewer's yeast? And is that the same as nutritional yeast?
I am fairly certain that this is the feed I am giving them (I'm not at home at the moment, but will check when I can):
https://www.amazon.com/Manna-Pro-St...ocphy=9023209&hvtargid=pla-447587320225&psc=1
It contains 22% protein and a minimum of 35 mg/lb of niacin according to the bag.
Is that sufficient? Or should I look in to supplementing? And if I supplement, do I add it directly to the feed?
When they get integrated into my flock, do I need to worry about them eating my chicken food? Or can I feed them the same layer feed & just add the yeast? I can absolutely have two feeders with separate foods in it if needed, I just didn't know how you kept the ducks from eating the chicken food and vice versa.
