Mazuri duck food?

[DucksOhio]

Has anyone used Mazuri duck food? My vet recommended it, but it sure seems pretty pricey.

I've never used it, but I'm sure you get what you pay for ! All flock and Purina Raiser are much cheaper and are great for all growth stages of poultry.

@Magnolia Ducks feeds it. So does @CrystaBub I can't get it with out ordering and having a mixed flock have to use feed formulated for poultry not ducks specific. They also now make [Purina] a duck pellet and TSC carries it. @DuckyDonna and @Runner duck mom feed it.

Yes, I swear by it especially the starter. It's worth it to me for two reasons. Tiny little pellets so much less waste. And the smell, their poo smells ooooooh so much better than flock raiser. I pay $23 for a 25lb bag. Also the adult feed floats, so if your feeding on water, it's efficient. $39 for a 40 lb bag. Because I am in a hot, humid climate again much less waste. That said, I have used flock raiser successfully for years, this is just a personal preference.

Do you have to crush them for the littles?

Not sure, never have used it. It says it's intended for duckling's so I would think so?

I WOULD like to get the best food for my flock...the only place I can get the Mazuri product is direct from Mazuri. So a 50lb bag is $68, including shipping. OUCH! No TSCs or other grain stores have this or Purina duck. Amazon even charges more.

The Nutrina All Flock IS available locally, so I will try that brand, if recommended.

Thanks for all the feedback!

How is your duck I don’t remember seeing an update?

I'm also confused about protein %. Mazuri is 14% and All Flock is 20%. Which is better for ducks?
