Feeding mama and babies together

[wendychicklawyr]

I have a "mama" duck (not their mama but took them in lol) and 8 babies ..how do I feed both since they need different stuff. Mama is 6 months and laying

I don't have ducks, but my "mama" hen eats what the chicks do. She ate starter when they did and is not eating chick grower.

I know with chicks, layer feed is not good for them as the layer feed has too much calcium.

I would feed both the mother duck and her ducklings a starter or grower feed. If possible, offer her some oystershell on the side, so she can obtain any extra calcium she needs. There is too much calcium in layer feed for ducklings or chicks.
