Ducks?

Hey y’all, I just want to see what people feed your ducks. What tips do you have for someone that doesn’t know much about ducks? Sorry I’m new to ducks but I have had chickens for a few years

You can feed them what you feed your chickens depending of the type of feed.

Okay, good to know. What are the exceptions of that? Will any laying feed work?

Yes, I feed mine a separate feed kinda. Chickens get pellets and scratch mix and my ducks just get pellets.

I feed an All Flock/ all poultry feed. Since it is all flock it has higher niacin for the ducks.

A feed only for chickens will not have enough niacin. So... if you feed a chicken only feed, then you have to supplement with niacin forthe ducks, most important with ducklings.

I agree with Alaskan, I feed an all-flock during the winter months when neither the ducks nor the chickens are laying.

I try to exclusively feed the ducks all-flock during laying season when the chickens should be eating the layer feed. But my ducks are terrible thieves who supplement their own meals with stolen chicken feed.
