Title: food recommendation for 16wk old ducks
Post by: poppy on September 16, 2009, 12:41:26 pm
Hi there,

Can anyone suggest where to get duck food online. I have 3 khaki campbell girls who are approaching 16 weeks old. I need to get some layer pellets for them but there doesn't seem to be any in the Smallholder Range of foods.  ???

Ah that's good news. I will get chicken layers pellets then. No pet stores near me have any food for ducks, so I have had to buy it online.

Thanks guys  :)

Back to the serious question.... (!) Millbry Hill sell Allen and page duck and goose pellets, I think chick crumbs to layers/breeders. Its under poultry.
Bear in mind the postage is by weight so can get quite expensive when you buy lots of 20 kg sacks!!
