What to feed baby ducklings

[AmberCamilia]

Hello! I got just two adorable Pekin ducklings (boy and girl). I'm feeding them unmedicated chick starter (18%). Is 18% protein enough or should I buy a feed with 20%? Thank you!

Hi @AmberCamilia Congratulations on your new ducklings. Most of us use unmedicated chick starter since duck starter isn't available everywhere. Only thing you'll need to do for your ducklings is make sure they get more niacin than what is in the chick starter. Here is so very good info with all the details.
