Hi I hope y’all can help me out here, I just got baby ducks and they are a week old already and I have a boy and a girl (my neighbor raised ducks and he knew the sex already) so my question(s) is 1. when they get older I’ve read that drakes don’t need grit/oyster shell because it’s too much calcium but the females do for the laying process (ik she won’t start laying till 4-5months) and that drakes don’t need to be fed layer pellets cause they don’t lay so do I need to give them 2 diff feeds?
2. And what age do u start giving them grit (they are going to be outside but i think I’ve decided to let them roam my yard when they get older and put them back in the pen at night) and ik they find their own sand/tiny rocks in the yard just wondering if I need to provide them with any extra stuff?
3. Last one do they need grit or anything to eat veggies with at a young age or do I just put it in the water?
Thank Y’all!!
