Hi all! I have a fairly large chicken flock, and I’ve recently decided to add some ducklings under a broody hen that’s been sitting for four weeks on infertile eggs.
I pick up four five day old Indian runner ducklings on Wednesday! I ferment feed for my chickens, is that okay for ducklings? What protein content? I believe I read that brewers yeast needs to be added to their feed, and that their water needs to be deep enough to swish their food in. For fermented feed, does brewers yeast need to be added? Can they eat the same food as my chickens? I’ve still got chicks around so everyone is on a 20% non-med starter feed. Please, give me all the advice you have! Thanks in advance!
