I am new to keeping ducks, and my ducklings arrived yesterday. They are currently residing with a friend who has more experience (and who convinced me to split an order of ducklings with her). Five of the ducklings pictured below are mine. I ordered 2 Runners, 2 Khaki Campbells, and 1 Black Cayuga.
I went to the local feed store today, and the person there attempted to sell me chick feed. From what I read, this will not work well for ducklings, because of their different nutritional requirements (such as Niacin). What sort of feed do you recommend for ducklings? These ducks are being raised to be pets/egg layers - not food.
For the record, I am absolutely smitten with my ducklings.
