Feeding ducklings

[caradixonak]

Hi new to ducklings and loving them. i have a couple feeding questions:
When can they eat feeder fish?
I juice daily and I'm wondering about lemon, grapefruit and ginger for them….
my girls are 5 days old and i will be getting 2 replacements because two died on monday. right now lots of cut grass, shredded lettuces, spinach, live mealworms and started crumbles 21%
Thank you!!

Welcome to BYC!

I would wait awhile before you try feeder fish. Also, make sure you get them from a reliable source so you don't spread parasites to your birds.

If I'm not mistaken citrus isn't really good for them.

I would limit the spinach intake because it can affect calcium absorption.

Have you started adding niacin supplement as well?
