[supermommy]

I am curiouse as to what everyone is feeding there ducks? Were getting ready to get off the starter food, and I wondering what to use next? They are outside alot so they are getting there grass, bugs etc..

Thanks everyone!

I feed mine layer pellets theres less waste when you use pellets.

My 3 week olds eat 20% chick starter. My older ducks eat a mix of scratch grains, 15% grower crumbles and 16% layer crumbles.

Mine are 3 weeks old and have been on flock raiser.

Mine are 3weeks old and I've got them on grower and will continue that until they start laying then I'll switch to Layer!

Babies at the house are fed 20% flock raiser. After they move to the pond they get 16% calf grower mix with a bit of layer crumbles added in (like they eat it

)

I do Dumor chick/duck starter until 10 weeks then go to Dumor chick/duck finisher and until 20 weeks then use multia flock game pellets and have oyster shells for the girls..

I'd be interested in this, our ducks are going to be 3 weeks this Friday and are still in the brooder because their duck house isn't quite finished (though will hopefully be so by this weekend!). They're on Purina Duck Starter/Grower "Startena" but at 4 weeks or 30 days I'm sure of it, it says to take them off it. Do I go to a raiser? And then to Layer at point-of-lay.

And about greens, should I be feeding greens to them while still in the brooder? This is quite a bit different from my chicks...
