What to feed ducklings?

[EmpressOfEden]

What do you feed little ducklings? Is it ok to use a chick starter? What about geese? I have some Embden eggs in the incubator and I want to be ready.

Not all chick starters are created equal. I recommend something like Purina All-flock starter, and for ducks, definitely keep some b-vitamins (liquid, tablet, gel, what have you) just in case of issues.

This site provides a good chart of the nutritional requirements of ducks and geese at various stages of life. I really like this.
