I have no idea

Maybe a more knowledgeable "duck" person can answer that...I'd think they get a lot of their food from the environment... Hope you find out soon!!


sorry I couldn't help!

I feed my flock Purina Flock raiser, it's an all flock feed so even the tiniest ducking/chick/ gosling/turkey, you get the picture can eat it. Buy crumble if you have babies. pellets aren't easy for the wee ones. They can eat this from hatch til... You may want to sprinkle brewers yeast or give niacin in the water for your ducklings though although I have never had a problem with any of my babies from eating it but some ducklings/goslings can get leg problems from not getting enough niacin in their diet. If you free range your flock though I doubt you'd have a problem. Flock Raiser is an excellent feed if you can get water fowl feed.
