[bigdawg]

i have duck eggs incubating and i wanted to know what to feed baby ducks. is chick starter ok?

to be safe i'd go with non medicated or a game bird starter feed.

i fed mine purina mills game bird grower pellets

ok. thanks

no problem.

i had a duckling die after i had it a week. i blame it on food. i was told it was non-medicated at the scoop it youself feed store. so i bought game bird feed the second time to be on the safe side.

My ducklings that hatched a week ago yesterday have grown really fast. They are being fed non medicated duck grower crumbles. What they love the best, and they hoover it up, is any fresh greens(broccoli flowers, spinach, kale etc) buzzed in the food processor and added to a dish of water. They are also cohabiting with 2 day olds. who cuddle up to them. There is no aggression and the little ones seem to be learning and growing well. Two more ready to hatch tonight.
