Duck Starter Grower Crumble with Probiotics, 8 lb Bag

I'm not a duck expert, so I don't know how your supposed to give this to baby ducks, but my duck couldn't eat the full dry pieces. Then I tried giving it to mic wet, and he absolutely loved it. He eats tons of it a day. Good quality.

Daphne was an over achiever this year. Her success rate was 16 of 17. But she hatched them out over 35 days. I realized I was going to exhaust the 50# of "zoo supply brand" of water fowl starter. This feeder is cheaper and more complete than the zoo feed. But it took two weeks to get here (USPS) so I had to mix my own for a week. The geese will be brooding next so I will grab 2 bags to start in February. The brood their own so it will be fun trying to keep the adults out of it. This feed is crumble, clean ingredients, does not smell like the zoo food. I will not use the P food since it takes about $20 a bag of brewers yeast and other additives to make it complete. The rule on ducklings is I kick them out of the brooder in the house after 6 weeks or two inches of wind bones. I get to boot them out sooner with this starter than my homemade mix.

We were forced into adopting 9 abandoned 36-hour old ducklings (it was either take them or leave them to die!). This was the first food we fed them and they loved it. They’re 3 weeks old now and have grown very fast. They seem very healthy. We ran out of this and switched to a different food at 2 weeks old, but we ended up getting more of this and now mix it with the other pellets. This is an excellent choice for starter food. They have also started eating dried mealy worms (which they love the most) and grass. We plan to release them into a quiet lake when they’re 7 weeks old.

The little ones sure do love it. They seem to thrive on it. Easy feed for newly hatched ducklings.

Just the thing to get our new feathered friends on the right path. It was what we expected in a duck food. The ducks seemed to like it.

I moved on to a custom mix, but for ducklings where you don't need medicated feed (and shouldn't give ducklings medicated feed. That's a chick thing. Not sure about poults or goslings) this is a great choice. I also found when I was hatching silkies at the same time as ducklings and ran out of chick food, that this was great. (I was using non-medicated at the time, but also be aware that silkies tend to be more efficient in nutrition, so if you are blocking b vitamins to block coccidiosis then you might see more struggle in your newborn hatchlings.) It's great as a higher protein option and I reordered several times before I started upping protein on my own so could get away with cheaper feed. (If you incubate, you can feed back infertiles or quitters. Just not any bacterial bloom eggs.) If I had the budget and less time, I would definitely use this as a main cornerstone for my duck flock and move on to their other products based on how much I liked this one. Downside is cost and occasionally being out of stock for long periods of time.

This worked great! And she loved it :) She grew to be big, and healthy before being released. She now has her own offspring and is living the best life with her family!
