feeding ducklings

[rita]

hi i have been reading about feeding your baby ducklings on crumb, some say for only 2 weeks and some say up to 5 weeks, which is correct as i don't want them getting angel wing or suffer from lameness from being on crumb to long.
can anyone say how long they have kept their ducks on crumb for please.

hi rita I have the same dilemma but have read in quite a few places that it's about 2 weeks on crumb and then feed them on growing pellets.

I am sticking by that because it seems the best way to do it.

I don't usually do more than 2 weeks on crumb. If you have any questions ring these guys, they have nutrition experts and are more than happy to answer any questions. I have used them before: http://www.smallholderfeed.co.uk/Products/Poultry/Baby-Chick-Crumbs.aspx
