Flock raiser for ducklings?

Yep waterfowl do be needing all that niacin though

Happy to help, and hopes your ducks continue to bring joy. I've more eggs in the incubator now, hoping for hens - too many drakes already, just waiting on freezer space.

Yes, my ducks are quite a joy to watch! I’ve had chickens for many years but never ducks. It’s a lot of fun to see all their quirks. Hoping for females too, they were sexed but that’s never 100% so I’ll just have to wait and see. What breeds are you incubating? I think there’s lots of beautiful duck breeds, makes me want to use some chicken math and get a couple more!!

All Pekins for me. They were always intended for the table, and the Pekin is essentially bred for that purpose.


When i started my flock, it was whatever was available at TSC, generally sold out w/i hours. So I got straight runs of Pekins, my CornishX, my Dark Brahma, and my Rainbows. Ended up with 5 Pekin Drakes of 8 birds originally, 50/50 on my Cornish (also for the table), and no boys at all in the Brahma and the Rainbows... Actually had to get a Roo off of Craigslist for my chickens!

Flock raiser will work for them, no need to dilute the feed with oats, or anything. Just provide a calcium supplement when they are at the point of lay.
