Help me choose!

My supplier for duck food has gone out of business. My other option is another store that only sells duck and goose grower or an organic layer.
my ducks are about 9 or 10 months old and almost 2 years old.

Any suggestions on which I should get??

Thanks!

My ducks eat a layer feed. They seem to be in great health, laying an egg or more a day.

Awesome!
mine aren’t currently laying, haven’t laid for about 4 months. I was previously feeding them an all flock food.
I attributed it to the weather. It’s very cold here -14 degrees Celsius some mornings.

Do you feed a poultry layer feed?

Remember that layer feed is for laying birds. Layer feed has about 3x the calcium of other feed. If You have drakes, or your ducks stop laying for the season it is bad for their kidneys to keep them on layer ration long-term.

Do you recommend the duck and goose grower then? Those unfortunately are my only choices.

or do I get a bag of both and rotate them? I do have 2 drakes and 5 ducks

You could get Purina duck pellets which are good for all ducks, male and female.

Where are you located? If you would put that under your avatar that sure would be helpful.

Go up to your BYC name on the top right of this page. You will see a drop down menu with "account profile". Click on that and scroll down a bit where you can put your location.

It's very helpful for us when trying to help you. Since I know you are in Canada now I am tagging @Jpat who may be able to help you better with finding the right food.

You could rotate, or offer the grower along side crushed oyster shell.
