Hi just wondering at what age to switch ducklings from starter to layer crumbles? Thanks, Kelly

Chick/duck starter crumble with no medication about 20% protein for 1 to about 4 weeks. Then feed a grower crumble with less protein about 16% with no medication.

Hi Kelly, I usually feed mine starter until they have finished the 25kg bag and then I feed them grower and finisher pellets until they are about 4 months old. After that, they get normal chicken laying pellets. Others may do things differently. Cheers, Wendy

Pretty much same as above, I feed mine duck starter crumble for first 3-4wks then switch to duck grower and finisher pellets. They stay on that til I move them to the main pens when they then eat poultry mix like everyone else

I agree with everyone else, but like Rap has stated please ensure that they are non medictaed and that they are duck starter crumble and not chick starter, as the protein content in chick starter is a little high, and this can cause problems like angel wing
