What do you feed your ducks?

[LilMissChz]

I use the Dumor Chick Starter/Grower and I put Brewer's yeast on top of it. I still have babies.

I feed Mazuri waterfowl starter to the babies then start mixing in the maintenance as they grow and get older.

I am feeding flock raiser, lettuce, peas, and they are foraging almost every day. I have 8 week olds and 4 week olds.

I'm feeding my ducklings flock raiser (with brewers yeast mixed in), lettuce, peas, and they forage in my backyard everyday. Would it be safe/ok to put a few small feeder fish in there pond? (My ducklings are 10 weeks old)

. Yes you could put feeder fish in there but please buy them from a reputable place. If you see a bunch of diseased fish in a small tank with a bunch of dead ones DO NOT buy them. It is a great way to spread parasites and other diseases

A local pet store that I go to have a lot of good quality fish. So I'll plan to buy them from there. Thank You

I use Purina Flock Raiser. $18 for a 50lbs bag from my local feed store

Same here. Mine runs around $16/50 lbs. It says it's a complete food for ducks & chicks both up to 18 weeks, then to switch to Purina Layena when they start laying. I have 2 chickens laying so far so I'll probably just continue with the Flack Raiser for a while & put oyster shell out like I'm doing now.

Do you guys prefer pellets or crumbles for your ducks?

Pellets are less mess but my small ducks can't seem to eat them easily so I just feed Crumbles
