Medicated feed. LOOK !!!!!

I never thought that you could use medicated feed. However, Metzer and Holdreads have just corrected me.

I think it's going to depend on the particular brand. I personally still won't feed medicated feed but everyone has their own choice.

Thanks for the link

Very helpful.

your welcome. As much as I hate it when I'm wrong, I thought it was very useful as well.

I have always used the same, medicated chick starter with my ducklings as I've used with the chicks. I just added powdered Brewer's yeast to it, to give them the increased niacin they may need.

I've always fed medicated feed to ducklings and never had a problem.

Yep, only medicated Chick Starter. I've raised over 50 ducklings over the past 2 years and have had no problems at all.

Modern medicated chick starter has medication to protect from coccidia, it's safe for ducklings. They used to medicate with something else that wasn't safe. Personally I prefer to avoid any medication except as needed, healthier overall.
