why are my ducks always hungry??

X2. Another medication that is safe is bacitracin. Last year my brooder raised ducklings were feed with bacitracin, and a few years ago I fed feed with amprolium and bacitracin.

Medicated feed is fine for all waterfowl.

Ive heard that because ducklings eat more than chicks, they can overdose on the medication, it isn't the medication itself that's harmful but the dosage-
That's what I've heard

Actually Chick starter lacks what Ducklings need so extra vitamins and minerals are needed to keep them balanced..

They do, but non medicated chick starter is adequet if supplemented with extra niacin which ducklings really need. It's certainly not as good as duckling starter, but would be a lot better than what they have currently!

I can only get chick starter and have raised many birds on it including waterfowl. I just add Nutritional yeast to their feed. For the extra niacin, they need.

same, that's what I raised my ducklings on, supplemented with nutritious yeast, and it's been okay
