Kiki, this is awesome, a bunch of work went into it!

I have the label for the Mazuri duck feed and the purina flock raiser and layer pellets in front of me trying to figure out the best solution for my ducks. The variation in content for the different feeds that are supposed to be adequate for water fowl is confusing. I tend to think the Mazuri duck Maintenance would be the optimal numbers since it is duck/waterfowl specific and not an all flock type feed. I like that it is a floating feed but it is horribly expensive. Ordering from the Mazuri site it is $70 delivered for a 50 lb bag.

I went to look at the floating fish feed and the protein is off the charts at 41%. Flock raiser is 20% and the duck feed is 14% . i may have to go to the feed store and look at the cheaper floating fish food. I believe it has a lower protein. The wild geese knew the timing of our fish feeder going off and were ready and waiting for every feeding. So far they have raised several clutches of 7 babies. I'd still rather find something closer to the duck feed ingredients that doesn't break the bank.

Thanks D.
It took me two weeks, I think, to gather all the info.
You can go to the actual Google sheet and download it so you can have it on hand if you want.
That way you can adjust it yourself and put feeds side buy side to compare.
If you don't want to I will put any ones you want next to each other and screen shot it for you. Just let me know.
