What Do You Feed?

I am currently feeding Purina Layena, but I want to make sure I'm giving my ducks the best possible so they can be in the best condition (I show). So, what do you feed your waterfowl?

Mazuri Waterfowl Maintenance - floating pellets

They also make a starter, breeder, and sinking pellets.

I've fed this for 3 years and really like it.

I feed my ducks Flock Raiser (I believe that's Purina). Our hen just started laying eggs, and the shells are pretty hard. I leave a bowl of feed in their pen, and they come and get it when they want to..but they'd rather wander the yard eating slugs and bugs. I think the 50LB bag lasts us at least 3 months.

I feed the same thing as you Kurt daily as well as other brandchicken layer pellets. What you are using is great.Been using it for years. I will add that I also use the mazuri starter when rearing ducklings and mazuri breeder a little before and during breeding season. Good luck with your birds.

We feed Flock Raiser and greens. Plus some free range and scratch. I have wondered about feeding Flock Raiser, it is high in protein but low in calcium. That is why we feed spinach daily, plus they love it. But I would like to add other calcium rich food, any ideas?

Do any of you show your birds? Is the condition your birds are in satisfactory?
