Jumbo Pekin diet?

[oohlalaney]

Is there anybody experienced enough to know what a good diet for a pet jumbo Pekin is? Starting from hatching to adulthood! I don't want my babies to be unhealthy and I want to be prepared for when they hatch!

I don't have jumbo's but do have pekin i used a 22% starter for ducks and now they eat a 16% grower with whole corn and a grain mix, plus forage.

Have you read the duckling sticky?

Thanks, I will read it! Do you have to give your ducklings niacin or anything? I heard that jumbos have leg problems and that will help prevent it! But I've never had jumbos before!

I just read the arrival and it was pretty helpful for the most part but I still have a little bit of questions about the perfect diet for adult jumbos:/
