5. What do ducklings eat?

1. For the ducklings that have just come out of the kang, try to choose more lively and healthy ducklings to feed. Do not keep those that are inactive, listless, and too weak.

On the second day, you can mix some small fresh fish or mixed feed. Ducklings should be fed frequently within 10 days after hatching, starting with seven or eight times a day, and then reducing to four or five times later. Drinking water should be clean, cold water in summer and warm water in winter.

3. Pay attention to feeding dry, wet and different types of feed together.

For ducklings, mainly feed wet feed. If you feed them dry, they can't swallow it. Within 7 days, mainly feed them broken rice, which should be cooked to 70% to 80% done, not too soft. When it is cooked to 70% to 80% done, mix it with clean water until it is loose and not sticky.

After 7 days, you can feed cooked wheat. It would be better if you can mix some green vegetables and green beans into the feed, because vegetables and beans are cool in nature and can reduce internal heat. If the ducklings eat them, they will grow faster and have tender meat.

When the ducklings are one month old, they can be driven into the rice fields that have just been harvested to graze, so that they can improve their foraging ability.
