How much do you feed your ducks?

Hi Wifezilla, What % protein is the gamebird feed? curious because I see ranges are varied by brand.

24%. Most people see that percentage and their heads 'asplode'. But I also raise quail and all my birds get the same feed.

Ours get about 1/4- 1/2 cup of feed twice a day and about the same amount in treats once a day. They freerange sun up until sun down and get no food in their night pen. They used to get more until I realized they were getting too fat.
If you are worried about protein intake, I use Blue Seal 'Grower Cal' pellets. 15% protein.
