My ducks first spring!

[Spyderk117]

So, I might be getting Muscovy ducklings in a week or so! Will they do ok with chick food? I've read different things, and there isn't waterfowl feed available as far as I know. Any tips? These will be my first ducks (pretty much, anyway ) and I'm super excited!!

Awesome!!!! Yeah, they will be fine, just make sure it isn't medicated.

Just a little sprinkle is fine. Also, if you cant find any yeast, ducks in the wild get it from bugs and stuff, so if you go out and catch things and bring them to the ducklings, they can get it that way. Just give them grit if you do that
Amazon had the yeast too, thats close by (k, bad joke )

Ok. Thanks.

I don't even live in the Amazon, I'm farther south.
