FAQs
Can this be fed to other types of birds?
This mix is specifically balanced for the nutritional needs of ducks and geese.
How often should I feed the ducks?
Once or twice a day in small, controlled amounts is sufficient to supplement their natural diet.
Is this safe for ducklings?
While it contains vital nutrients, ensure that the particle size is appropriate for the age of the ducklings.
How should I store the 12.5kg bag?
Keep it in a cool, dry, dark environment using a sealed container to maintain freshness.
Will this attract pests?
Leaving excess food scattered on the ground can attract unwanted wildlife; always feed only what the birds can eat in a few minutes.
Troubleshooting
Feed appears damp or clumped.
Store the mix in an airtight container away from humidity and discard any moldy portions.
Birds are not eating the feed.
Ensure the feeding area is quiet and non-threatening. Birds may take time to recognize new food sources.
Excess feed is left over.
Reduce the portion size significantly to prevent attraction of pests and water contamination.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the feed, store the 12.5kg bag in a cool, dry, and rodent-proof container. Keeping the mix moisture-free is essential to prevent spoilage and mold. It is compatible with all wild duck and goose species. When feeding, always observe the birds to ensure they are consuming the feed efficiently and adjust the quantity based on the number of birds present. Always provide access to clean, fresh water nearby, as waterfowl require water to swallow and digest dry feed properly.
