What do you all with mixed flock feed? I have runner ducklings right now…6 weeks old. I can get Purina Flock Raiser easily here which is 20% protein. I fed this to my ducklings from hatch (+ brewers yeast) but still had niacin issues (everyone is ok now). Then I was told to lower the protein during feathering because of Angel Wing. One of my ducklings was showing early signs of Angel wing so I did want to cut the protein down. The other alternative I could find suitable for ducks was Klambach Flock Maintainer (16%). They’ve been eating this for the last week and seem good, but I’ve heard mixed reviews on this feed. Like it’s low quality? Eventually once everyone is grown out, I want to just feed an all flock formula, so wondering what others have done? Once they are out of this growing phase, I wouldn’t mind going back to Purina.
Can I feed them this 16% feed, and then go back to the Purina once they fully feather? Or should they be on something else now?
