My duckies

They look like all female? Where did you say you got them? Yeah I would also agree that getting them on Flock Raiser will be a good idea...it has a higher protein content as well. I feed mine catfood as a treat sometimes but that's all, I want them mainly foraging and eating their food. Other great treats for them will be live or dried mealworms which also have great protein and mine love freeze-dried grass hoppers. They also like cheerios and sunflower seeds in yogurt or milk. ducks love dabbling in the water for food so make sure they have plenty and I would also agree with a feeding schedule for them. Feed them small amounts several times a day so they don't overeat in one sitting until they start to put on weight and then you can start giving more only twice a day. Good luck!

They are beautiful ducks, heres a link that shows duck and drake, look closely are the drake on the right at the base of it's tail you'll see the curlie drake feather that will give you an idea what to look for, then ducks quack loudly drakes have a raspy voice sounds like they have a cold. http://www.waterfowl.org.uk/hvducks.html
