These starter crumbs are a high energy diet that will get waterfowl growing well straight from hatch. From a day old until about 3 or 4 weeks old, these will give the best start and provide all the essential nutrients needed for this stage of growth, in a convenient form. Ducklings can be allowed to eat at will, so fill troughs/feeders once a day and allow free access to the feed. In an emergency Baby Chick Crumbs may also be fed to ducks or geese (i.e. when Goose/Duck Starter Crumbs are unavailable), though in general you should be very careful about feeding chick crumbs to ducks as some companies products contain an anti-coccidiostat which can be harmful to them.

All the ingredients are shown on their product labels.
