At what age do you switch ducklings from a starter food to something else? And what do you switch them too? What is it called exactly. Thanks

We feed Dumor feed and follow the instructions on the back of the bag. I can't remember the exact age we switch, I'd have to look at the bag. But when they are ready we switched to the Dumor Grower/Finisher.
 
Hi!

At two weeks of age, I began mixing some grower pellets in with the starter crumbles for my runners. It started out with one part pellets to four parts crumbles. The first several days (overprotective duck mom) I ground the pellets up. Each day I would add a little more pellet to the mix, till the crumbles were gone, and they were eating all grower pellets.

What kind of ducklings do you have?

And welcome!
 
Thank you.

I think one is a Khaki Campbell and the other is a Buff? Not sure yet. They are about 5 weeks old. Is there a certain type of pellet I should look for? I am still giving them the crumbles. They are also eat worms, greens, peas, etc.
