I got 20 ducklings in this year, they're currently at 10 weeks and was going to seperate the meat birds/ most of the drakes and the ducks that I'm keeping for eggs, hoping to fatten up the meat birds towards the end with milk, corn, and peas..
Weighed them today and most of the ducks/ drakes were just around the 5 lb mark, was hoping they'd be closer to 7 by now.. how quickly can they pack on a couple lbs? Would it still be good to seperate and feed those more now to process at 12 weeks? Have seen some older posts about people processing at 18 weeks, but that's a lot of feed between now and then..
