Feeding New Layers

[stuka123]

I have 5 month old Pekin Ducks and I'm feeding them MAZURI WATERFOWL FEED. I also give them Oyster shell in a separate bowl. Is this adequate nutrition for them or should I be feeding them something else for new layer ducks???

Layers feed. Mine prefer the pellets. Some people only give layers feed during mating season, but mine mate and lay all year. Treats are always welcomed happily!

What your feeding now is fine...Provide the oyster shell in a separate bowl....
