Hello everyone,
My indian runner ducklings are just about... well... not ducklings anymore. They are going on 9 weeks and have been doing great on Nutrena chick starter grower crumbles (18% protein) since they were born. (Supplemented with brewers yeast when they got shaky legs.)
Now that they will soon be 10 weeks old, I have questions about what to feed them and when. I've done a little research but haven't found any specific answers. So my questions are:
1. When should I take them off the starter grower crumbles?
2. What type of feed should I switch them to?
3. And how do I account for the different dietary needs of males and females when they are living together (without over calcium-izing the males but making sure the females get enough)?
Thanks!
