Kalmbach feed or Manna pro?

[Ilovemychicks08]

Just remember they are water fowl. Especially when the brooder is soaking wet and you cleaned it just a little while ago. There are some good ideas about how to set up the brooder in the learning center. For example, normal chick waters are not a great idea.

I have found many setup plans, including a few ideas of my own! And i heard to take milkjugs and cut out a small rectangle just big enough for them to get their heads in is this true?

I would have to feed duck starter and grower till they are atleast 7 weeks old. I chose Purina its actually cheaper and i like the ingredients just a little but more than Manna pro. I would have to drive about 1 hour to get the feed if the order didnt come on time. Then switch to all flock. Thanks again!

The purina duck is formulated for from hatch to adult. I have raised ducklings on it from hatching without any issues.

The problem im having is the chickens cant eat the duck feed, is what ive heard. So i dont want to feed them something that they shouldnt eat.

Milk jugs are great when they are bigger (say two weeks or older). After the first day or so, a rubbermaid container with a whole cut out of the top works better. If you have raised chickens, you might be surprised how much faster ducks grow.

Ok, i will remember to use a rubbermaid container for the first 2 weeks. And ive heard they grow fast i will take a picture of them everyday and then in the end put them all together to see how fast they grew.

Yea, i will feed it to them until they have to go outside then ill end up having to switch, if i lived in the country then i would raise them separately and not worry about the chickens eating the duck food.

I've used the manna pro duckling/gosling starter, as well as other duckling starters. I've also used purina duck pellets and other duck feeds. I have not used kambalch or whatever, or mazuri. I like the manna pro duckling starter the best for raising ducklings, mine seem to do well on it. I also like purina duck pellets for when they get older. I've also used layer feed and all flock/flock raiser with mixed flock adults (chickens and ducks)
