How do you feed different aged ducks??

[MikaylaLeslie]

So I have 4 ducks that are 7 weeks, 4 that are about about 4 or 5 weeks and then a Muscovy that is laying eggs. They’re all in one pen and I let them out whenever I can so they can swim and forage. I leave their food out for them so they can eat whenever. But now that the Muscovy is laying eggs I’m trying to figure out how to get her the food she needs. I’ve read so many different things. We went and bought layer feed and oyster shells and I tried to give it to her while the other ducks were out of the pen but she didn’t touch it. Am I just going to have to separate her? I’m new to having ducks so I’m just learning as I go!
