Feed a newly hatched duckling food?

What type of ducks do you have?

Muscovies

Muscovies are great!! They probably won't eat in the 1st 24hrs and drink very little also they won't poop either and the 1st one they do will be all green and weird looking but that's normal. I freaked the 1st time we had ducklings I didn't know any of that I thought they were sick. I feed mine chick starter crumbs for the 1st 6 weeks then move them on to scratch mix.

Also the good thing about Australia right now is it's so hot I haven't needed to use a heat lamp during the day for my 1 week old ducklings
