I'm getting 2 ducklings on Wed. I know they eat poultry food but what else should I give them?

I purchased 22% protein duck feed at Tractor Supply. I also supplemented with extra niacin.I'm getting 2 ducklings on Wed. I know they eat poultry food but what else should I give them?
My ducks did very well on this feed.I live on an island and our feed store doesn't carry duck food. I'll try Amazon. Thank you.
I have raised many ducks and geese, and it’s really not too complicated, just get some non-medicated chick starter,(that’s important because Ducklings-will overdose themselves) make sure it’s about 20 to 22% protein, for the first several weeks, then slowly lower it by going to 18 then to 16, Make sure not to go to 16 until they are at least three or four months old. Very similar to chickens. also make sure that you Add about teaspoon Ish of Brewers Yeast per Cup of feed, for the first four or five weeks or more, it’s important because they grow so fast that they need it for bone growth. I get it on Amazon. Also make sure that you don’t get an all life stages duck food food, as adults and ducklings have very different nutritional requirements. hope this helps!I'm getting 2 ducklings on Wed.

Look for duckling starter feed, if you cant get any, I suggest non medicated chick crumbs, and to every 1 cup add 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast. Its a good idea to wet their food slightly as a mash consistency. They should always have access to food and drinking water as babies.I'm getting 2 ducklings on Wed.
