Ducks mating already?

Another question I have is, they have been eating my chickens layer pellets on a regular basis, they totally ignore their grower crumbles. Since they are beginning to get into mating and might lay soon do I keep them on the layer pellets or switch them back to the grower crumbles they were supposed to be eating?

Um my Runners were mating at 4 months and laying at 4.5 months I was very surprised since my Muscovy's have always been 8-9 months old before any mating goes on and eggs after.

First eggs are so exciting. I am three months in on my last batch so still two to go.

Well, apparently they already decided what they need for themselves..
If unsure, maybe you can mix it?

I mix layer and grower since I have Roos drakes and a gander. 50/50
