Hi, new to ducks. My honey & I already have a Muscovy drake. We had purchased a Scobi over the weekend, but he retreated to the local watering hole. My honey found some khaki Campbell ducklings (1 week old). What is the best feed for young ducks, how fast do they grow, and how old can they be to go outside??? Thanks in advance.
I also have 14 chicks, but I'll save that thread lol.

plain unmedicated chick starter is fine for your ducklings you just have to add extra niacin to their diet somehow as they require more then chicks. and they grow really fast and by 5 weeks old they could go outside

Thank you! I've been giving unmedicated chick starter at the moment. The breeder suggested wild game feed but I haven't made it to the store yet. I figured this would be good until I could. My ducks are a week old & in picked them up on Monday.
