Couple new pics of them at 2 weeks old! They are on 20% chick crumble with powered niacin supplement. When should I switch to 18%??

at 3 weeks go to an all flock feed. Then they can stay on it the rest of their lives and you'll just have to put oyster shell out for your layers. Purina Flock Raiser crumble is an excellent one. They are adorable. Also if you have starter left mix it with your Flock raiser that way you can use it up.

Love seeing the pictures. We just ordered three pilgrims and several ducklings from Metzer yesterday. Should be here at the end of the month.

New picture of the babies! All tractor supply had was a 20% all flock. So I went with the 18% grower. Went to Agway and they have an 18% all flock PELLET so I will grab that next.

The geese actually hardly eat any crumbles, they only eat grass pretty much. So I am not going through much food.

When can you voice sex ducklings? Based on their voices right now it seems like I have 4 males and 1 female

Maybe by 4?weeks you should be hearing some quacks. Females quack loudly drakes keep their peeps longer and then start sounding like a frog. What a precious group you have there.
