Can you get ahold of a copy of Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks? Also, some Mother Earth News articles online have good information on feeding your flock.

Your English is really good!

Are you starting with ducklings or eggs? Please see this link for ducklings

or this link for eggs - it is for geese or ducks

Fresh water supply will help keep the flock healthy. They are waterfowl, they need fresh water for drinking and for bathing - they do not have to have a full pond - troughs with ramps, or what we call "kiddie pools" can be just as good. But with 100 ducks, you would need 25 kiddie pools. That may be okay for you - I do not know your setup.

Oh, and predators - coyotes, foxes - I don't know what you have in Pakistan - are a problem - there must be a very secure place for them especially at night. They cannot defend themselves. Do you have trained guard dogs for animals? If they are trained, and a good guard breed, they can help keep the flock safe.
