Hi! I am a relatively new duck mom and am a bit confused on the timeline for switching foods. We have three female runner ducks that are 23 weeks old. They are currently eating Manna Pro Duck Starter Grower Feed and I am mixing in oats for a 25% oats/75% feed ratio. I also mix in Fresh Eggs Daily Probiotics and Fresh Eggs Daily Brewer's Yeast. On the back of their feed bag, it states to switch to Manna Pro Duck Layer Feed at 20 weeks. Our girls haven't started laying yet though. A couple questions: 1.) Should I switch to the layer feed even if they haven't started laying? 2.) Will they start laying even if it is starting to get cold? (We are in the midwest.)
Thanks in advance for the info! A picture of one of our girls, Ed, just because.
