I am reading about feeds and I am just kind of in a jumble about what they need when and what the feed options are. Could someone write a sticky style thread about it. The information to put in it might be:
-What age to change diets?
-The general trend of food requirements (I know there is some debate on teh best diet as far a too much/little protein/carbs) as they grow older and for egg laying females.
-Perhaps some differences between breeds as far as nutritional needs if any. Or mallard-derived vs muscovies.
-What the "grower" "starter" "flock-raiser" generally mean.
-Possible costs/benefits to certain feeds (too much corn, vegetarian, no animal by-products, too much protein/carbs, etc)
-The options for feed
-ETC!
I would like to request this from the more experienced keepers to perhaps make a good sticky.
