    Avoid commercial diets designed to grow ducks fast for meat or commercial egg production. These diets often contain medications that prevent communicable diseases in large duck communities, and may be harmful to your duck.
   
   
   
   Ducks do well on non-medicated polluted mash as a staple, supplemented with fresh vegetable trimmings, chopped hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, cracked corn, worms, night crawlers, bloodworms... They enjoy floating coy food occasionally. Most items are available at pet and grocery stores 
   
   Protein levels are very important to your duck's stage of growth. 
   
   Ducklings need starter feed with 20-22% protein for 3 weeks. 
   
   Adolescents do best on 16% protein. 
   
   Adult ducks need 16-18% when they are laying and 14-16% if they aren't laying. A/P Lay mash is excellent for adult ducks. Hope this guidance will help you a lot.
