[kandyg_99]

Good Morning , I Just Picked Up A Flock Of (18) Muscovy Ducks 17 Ducks & 1 Drake .The Previous Owner Was Feeding Them Chicken Scratch. I'd Like To Switch Over To A Healthier Feed. What Would Be The Best Feed For Them?

Mazuri, Purina Flock Raiser, or All Flock feed are all great brands (Mazuri being the highest of quality).

You have a few options, and for twenty ducks, I'd probably decide based on price.

Allflock, Chick starter/grower, and pretty much any chicken or duck feed that's between 16 and 20% protein is good. You might want to avoid layer for anything that's not actively laying (i.e. the drake). I understand Mazuri makes a 50 lb feed specifically for waterfowl, which is cool, as most manufacturers that make waterfowl feed don't sell it in large bags.

That can sometimes happen with birds that were fed only scratch grains, since you don't want them to "starve" you may have to offer a flock raiser x scratch mix, and slowly wean them onto a flock raiser diet.
