Why aren’t my ducks laying

[Cheesetheduck]

Hi I’m new and I was just wondering why my two female ducks aren’t laying. So I’ve read all the stuff on here about it and I’m sure that it is because not enough protein but I haven’t got a clue what it is.

Could someone please help ?

You mix corn with layer pellets?
Or you buy a mixed feed with corn in it?
What is the brand name of the feed you buy?

I buy them separate and then mix them together

I am going to say you should probably stop doing that and feed ONLY the layer feed.
Get rid of the corn.

@KikisGirls ... I feed my ducks finisher cumbles (9 w/o), and throw out some cracked corn in yard for them to snack on during the day. Is the corn bad for them? Should I stop doing that? Also... when should I switch them over to layer feed?
