I've been looking around to see if i could find vitamin suppliments, good food and such for ducks but all the local places I go to just look at me like I'm crazy for having a duck, or they don't have anything specifically for ducks and want to sell me chicken food. I was wondering if anyone knew a good website where I could get this stuff? i even went to a pet store and the "bird expert" tried to give me monkey biscuits?? i didnt trust it....lol
 
I can't find vitamins at any of the places that sell the food and I llive right by the beach in southern California
so I have to drive a little way to even get duck food. I buy my supplements from the metzer farms website for
like $5 and its good for abot 128 gallons of water.
 
yeah i know right! everything is for chickens if i can find anything

You can ask your local feed store if they will order a waterfowl food for you. Mine carries Mazuri waterfowl, but they will special order the Mazuri waterfowl starter for me if I need it.
 
I believe that Metzer sells vitamins for ducks.

I get my niacin from Grocery Outlet. Ducks need the non-flush type and those are the cheapest, but hardest to find. Bargain places are your best bet.

A lot of the stuff made for chickens can be used with ducks, if you do a little research.

Several of the mail order hatcheries sell supplies.

If you can't find duck food, try an all purpose poultry food(about 16% protein) and add niacin to the water and toss the ducks a small handful of dry cat food every day for some animal protein. Sometimes when you have ducks, you just have to make do the best you can.
