To be fair, I dont think ducks know much about Google either . You can find Storeys Guide to raising ducks, on kindle for around $6. It's worth having handy

The Ultimate Pet Duck Guidebook. Is another good one to have. I have spent what is probably considered too much time reading duckdvm.com ,not a hobby that I recommend but a good resource.

What if they don't have the flock raiser at TSC? What else is good?

Look for a gamebird or turkey feed. You're looking for 18% protein and elevated levels of niacin, meth, and lysine. A game bird or turkey starter would also work short term, but are probably too high in protein for the long term.

I have ordered it from Amazon also

@Texas Kiki can probably help with feed she has a chart also. There are other brands of all flock too.

Just make sure you dont get the medicated chick feed. If you find something with too much protein like Turkey feed,it can be mixed with a variety of other food in order to lower the content. Rolled oats ,other grains etc. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQICRAD&usg=AOvVaw1H2SVfpP03TcqWLV36ExRs

We got it
Praying that this works

How long do you think it will take for me to see improvements?

 

[rjohns39]

It could take a while. Be patient

Our TSC carries Purina Flock Raiser. It runs about $19 for the 50 lb. bag. It can be fed to all of your flock, including chickens, if you are also providing a separate source of calcium, such as crushed oyster shell (also available at TSC) in a separate dish so the laying birds can eat it whenever they need to. It is best not to mix in the oyster shell, since some of your birds will not benefit from and may be harmed by too much calcium. Layer feed has added calcium in its formula, but that means that other birds that may be harmed by it don’t have any choice but to eat it with the feed. This is why many of us with ducks choose to feed the Flock Raiser or All Flock feeds and put out a dish of oyster shell.
