I’m not sure on the brand and the protein % I need to look at that the next time I get a bag of food. Our local feed store only offers one type and brand of duck feed. We have some other chain stores like Murdoch’s and tractor supply but I’ve just always gone to the local feed store. So I’m assuming and and I probably shouldn’t be that it’s what they need.-What brand and %protein are you feeding?
-Does your coop have proper ventilation to allow the moisture to flow out and prevent their feet form getting frostbite?
-How deep is your bedding in your coop?
-Are your ducks outside or do you sometimes bring them inside your house?
Our coop has top vents in it that let the air flow through. It’s a pretty good size coop. It was actually already built when when we bought the house. The people before us had chickens and ducks. I would say it’s probably an 6ft x 8ft coop with a dirt floor. It’s tall enough that I can stand up in it and I’m about 5’4. I have 9 bales of straw in there. 3 on the ground, 3 that make a u shape that they can snuggle in when the wind is blowing really hard and then the rest of the bales are spread out around the outside of the bales and on the inside of the bales.
