Hey everyone. I’ve not posted in a long time due to losing my beloved duck, Daisy. I hope everyone is well.
I currently have three full grown ducks and nine 2-month-old chickens (8 hens, 1 rooster). I’ve recently added them all together in the same coop, so the feed situation is getting hard to manage.
I feed my ducks a layer feed with about 15-16% protein. However, my chickens get about 20% protein. Would it be okay to feed the ducks the feed with 20% protein until the chickens can eat layer feed (at about 4-5 months). If not, does anyone know any feed that would be suitable for both the ducks and chickens?
Any advice/tips will be greatly appreciated — thank you!
