What should I feed my ducks?!

[ticks]

They are 3 weeks old. I have them on a 20% starter. I read that the higher the % the more likley they are to get angel wing and other disorders. In the book I am reading about it they say feed 15%-18% I could get them a 15% grower/finisher but that would lack the proper niacin that little ducks need.

thanks

You can give them unmedicated chick starter or game bird feed and add some brewers yeast to it to bring up the niacin.

Also give them plenty of chopped green grass and things to eat too.

what % chick starter? I give them lettuce. They are playing outside in their pool and are very active. They love lettuce.

What chick food do you have now?

Let them eat grass too.
