Feeding Ducklings

hello i have just been given 4 4 week old ducklings but i have no idea what to feed them on could you help? Ken

Hi Ken,
I fed my khaki campbell ducklings waterfowl chick crumbs upto 6 weeks of age then I have been feeding them a growers pellet. If you go to your local farm store they will be able to advise you.
The smallholder range is good. Here is a link to the waterfowl chick crumbs I fed my ducklings. http://www.smallholderfeed.co.uk/poultry/9.htm
Hope this helps. Kind regards

  1. Hi Sara
    I would just ike to let people know to take advice of this site. Some sites are saying to feed chicks with grass veg etc. According to a man this killed his babies due to, baby ducks unable to digest this type of food. im no expert and have to ask people and read to find out more. As i have done with Sara. Please take notice of Sara rather than all these other sites as she knows her stuff. Reading other sites could be fatal for your ducklings.
    Thank Sara for all info
    Tracey
