    help! Does anyone know if Purina duck feed is allowed into Toronto/Ontario’s borders?

    My duck really needs a proper, sufficient duck feed again, but the previous duck feeds I ordered didn’t pass the border because it contained “meat.” Does anyone know if duck feeds like Purina duck feed is allowed into Toronto’s borders? Any advice would help, thank you!

    Please help! Where can I buy high quality laying duck feed in Canada?

    The place we usually buy the feed from won’t have it in stock anymore and nowhere else I’ve looked has it. Can someone please help? We have no idea what to feed her soon, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

    Should I be free freeding?

    My ducklings are three weeks old, four weeks on Friday. I’ve been letting them free feed and on warmer days I’ll put them outside to explore and forage. I know they’re still growing (fast!) but should I continue to let them free feed or take their food out at night?

    Hi all, ducks are currently 7 wees old and are eating Nature's Best Organic Duck Crumbles.

    Duck Grower Feed (will pheasant feed work?)

    I’m moving from starter to grower feed with my 3 backyard ducks (first time flock). I’m looking at Hudson feeds, and their Pheasant/Quail feed seems to line up better than the Multi Flock Grower. Is it okay to give them the pheasant/quail stuff? I attached the nutrition info I could find. Thanks!

    9-week Duck feed - too much Protein?

    At the behest of a BYC user, I got Purina Duck pellets. They are 19% crude protein. Is this too much for my 9 week old Pekins? Will they begin to develop Angel Wing, or has that time passed? If it is too much, I can cut it with uncooked oatmeal. I also add an additional 2 TBSP of Brewer’s Yeast...

    Dehydrating wet feed

    Hey all! With the freezing cold this past week the duck crumble will freeze up as they eat and drink. This has caused a lot of wet food and I'm going through a ton if it! I had a thought about putting the wet feed in the oven at its lowest temp (170° I think) and drying it out. Will this harm...
