Feeding Young Ducks 
This past year I hatched out some young ducks. How¬ 
ever, they have not grown as rapidly as 1 think they 
should. The heaviest ones were much too small to sat¬ 
isfy me. When I feed them they act as though they were 
starved to death. Their ration consists oh corn meal, 
bran and cracked corn. I have about 200 and have much 
trouble keeping the ducks and hens separate. What 
would you advise me to do where I have sp many hens 
that are always ready to devour the food of the young 
ducks? —Mbs. N. 
of different ages, the best plan is to con¬ 
struct a temporary .yard, especially tem¬ 
porary feeding yards. In your case where 
you have such a small flock of ducks it 
would be little or no trouble to set up a 
wire feeding pen where the ducks could 
eat at will without any disturbance and 
where they could likewise eat their fill 
without having older birds devour it be¬ 
fore they could get their share. 
It is not necessary to feed ducklings 
until they are from 24 to 36 hours old. 
At this time they may be fed a mixture 
of' rolled oats and bread crumbs, equal 
parts by measure to w’hich has been added 
about 3% of sharp sand. This mixture 
is fed about 5 times during the day, al¬ 
though some may find it necessary to give 
but three feedings. The birds are given 
all they can eat. Whatever is left should 
be cleaned up, for if it is allowed to remain 
in the yard, it is apt to sour. 
About the third day the ration is 
changed to a mixture of bread, rolled 
oats, bran, corn meal, used in equal parts. 
After the seventh day it is again changed 
to consist of 3 parts bran, one part low 
grade wheat flour and one part corn 
meal, 10% green food, 5% beef scrap to 
which is added about 3% of sand. 
For a period of two or three weeks after 
the seventh day, the ducklings may be 
fed about 4 times daily, after which it 
is not necessary to feed more than 3 
times a day. It is not necessary after 
this to mix the sand in the mash as long 
as they can get plenty in the yard. Oth¬ 
erwise, hoppers should be available car¬ 
rying a good sharp sand. 
Do Not Use Sloppy Wet Mash 
In mixing the mash only enough water 
should be used to bring it up to the con¬ 
sistency of crumbs. It should not be 
soggy or sloppy. 
As ducklings grow older the amount of 
beef scrap is increased about 15% of the 
ration by the end of the third week. The 
corn meal is likewise increased while the 
amount of bran is decreased until the 
ducklings are on a fattening ration. Un¬ 
less the birds have plenty of green food 
at their disposal, the ration should in¬ 
clude tender green food, chopped finely 
and mixed with the mash. 
About two weeks before the ducklings 
are ready for market, they are put on a 
ration consisting of corn meal 3 parts; 
low grade flour or middlings 2 parts; 
and beef scrap A part, all by weight. Of 
course this ration includes green food or 
oyster shell or sand. This ration is fed 
three times a day. 
Good Books on Duck Raising 
For the man who is interested in raising 
ducks, we know of no better book on the 
subject than that entitled, “Ducks and 
Geese.” by Lamon and Slocum, This book 
is published by the Orange Judd Publish¬ 
ing Company, New York City. The U( S. 
Department of Agriculture also puts out 
a very excellent bulletin on the subject of 
ducks. Farmers’ Bulletin No. 697.

CUSTOMER'S LETTER 
Gentlemen: May 19th, 1924 
We are pleased to report that from the 200 day-old chix we purchased of you 
the middle of last June, we raise'd 125 pullets. On the 17th day of December 
they laid 67 eggs (better than 50%) and from that time on they have laid from 
50% to 80% and are still at it. We believe June is the best month in the season 
to raise chix. Yours truly,
