Congrats on the new ducks, Deb! Hope they arrive safe and sound.

Thanks, Friday!!

Gosh, I hope so. I've been reading on here about people, like Bert, receiving dead birds. I've been lucky and the only dead animals I've ever seen were roadkill. I'll be so distraught if I open that box and they aren't all living.

ETA: Will definitely share lots of pics!

So...I am going to lockdown my ducks tomorrow and I need to know what I should feed them??? Is the medicated chick starter okay??

Ducklings can have chick crumbles, but it has to be non-medicated & an added source of Niacin. I use brewers yeast.

If you can't get Brewers yeast in time, Purina Flock Raiser works as well, it has higher niacin content than chick starter...

They rinse their food as they eat and end up getting way too much amprolium than is good for them... and ducks have no need of it...
