When should I stop feeding duckling food ?

Everyone has a preference of when they make the switch for different reasons. Some feed the starter/grower for as long as the feed manufacturer recommends and some make the switch sooner. For my flock, around 3 weeks is when I start mixing in flock maintenance feed and by the time they are 7-8 weeks they are 100% on flock maintenance. I don't raise meat birds and since the breed I have seems to have angel wing issues I prefer to lower the protein early. At the end of the day you just have to research and make what you feel are the best decisions for your flock.
