Ducks

Mazuri is said to be the best of the duck feeds, here is their starter:

The thing that seems to largely be in debate after Niacin is the relatively high protein in All Flock Feed. I don't understand the hullabaloo about that. I understand that ducks don't *need* high protein, but I don't see how a bit extra is necessarily bad enough that some will declare that you shouldn't use an all flock because it's too high in protein.

With that said, All Flock still has less protein than Game Bird as far as I've seen.

Would be nice if we could see how they compare to each other instead of having to find each value on two charts... following

I guess for ducklings you shouldn't give too high protein to prevent angel wing but for adults

If I were so darn lazy I would make a chart, lol.

That seems like picking for nits before you see them to me. Use flock raiser with a bit higher protein at 20% because maybe protein causes angel wing, or chick grower and need to add niacin at 16-18%.
