We have ducklings thay are about 3 weeks and 4 weeks. Believe them to be pekins and runners but they came from a batch bin, so we don't know for sure. Until a couple days I was feeding a starter from TSC. My husband went to our local feed mill and they had Mazuri Waterfowl food so got that. I'm looking at the nutrition on it and I'm not sure it's enough for them especially at this young age.

What do you feed your ducklings? And how long should I keep them on the starter/grower feed? Thank you!
 
I feed all my ducks Purina duck chow. Supposed to be appropriate for all ages and I've had no health issues with any ducklings on it. I do offer oyster shell for the laying ducks, too.
 
I started mine on Kalmbach duck and gosling feed, with extra niacin (nutritional yeast). Then at 7 weeks of age i switched to all flock, with added niacin still.
