Raising ducklings

[carisadeluna]

I just welcomed 2 ducklings into our home... they arrived before their food because there’s a back up and delay on shipping and the local stores near me don’t have ... ive been reading some articles but was wondering if you have any suggestions on what they can eat ?
Sharing a pic... my dog is very attentive to them , cutest thing

Scrambled eggs cut up small.

How long until you can get duckling feed?
Can you get chick starter?
Flock raiser?

I agree, scrambled eggs would be a nutritious alternative until your feed arrives. Welcome to BYC!

Duck Feed or All Flock Feed, Purina Rasier Feed would be much better since it contains more niacin to help prevent leg problems.

Definitely try hard to find a feed for ducklings like Isaac stated.
While they can eat chick starter and it is better than random stuff we may have on hand it is not the same as duckling feed. There is not enough niacin in it for ducklings.
