Feeding Ducklings with Mama

[cinnaMOnroll591]

Hello!

My call is supposed to hatch out her eggs in around a week I plan on keeping babies and mama together in a smaller run inside the main run. But, I want to make sure it is safe for her to eat the starter food I am wanting to buy? What's the best way of feeding babies and mama correctly?

Also, can male ducks eat some layers pellets? I only have a pair of calls and want everyone to be happy!

I always feed my mamas and babies starter. It's good for mama to help build her back up after brooding.

I feed my flock a mixture of Layer and starter to keep my drakes and rooster from getting too much calcium and keep out oyster shells for my layers.
You can also feed them all an All Flock feed that can be feed from start of their lives until the end. Just start out with crumble when you have ducklings.
