Is this new feed ok for my ducklings?

[chickens really]

@casportpony gave great info on choices of what you can feed. Many on here use Purina Flock Raiser and haven’t any problem at all with it at 20% protein.

Seams to me lots have issues with Ducks on higher protein feeds.

I feed mine 22% until they around 8 weeks, then I switch to All flock 18%.

How many of yours have gotten angel wing being fed 16%.

in 2005 i started buying gamebird starter and i have not had angel wing except for a couple ganders that were donated

i would do some research on vitamins like Selenium and Vitamin E

All good here. I'm just saying what I know.

Way back in 2004 when I started with ducks I started right off buying Purina flock raiser. Never once have we had a duckling or gosling get angel wing.

Common wisdom used to say high protein caused certain issues but modern research is telling us it is most likely vitamin related, it is okay to learn new things along the way
