Ducks like it, Geese not sure
By Greenswan on Dec 30, 2020
Unlike this feed, because it's easy to carry because it's like weight. It also floats in the water which facilitates the feeding. However, the birds are not sure what it is. The ducks are more willing to try it than geese or seagulls. I tried oats instead and they like it much much better.

Glad I purchased
By FishMom on Jan 14, 2021
My guinea fowl have been eating this for a few months now and never looked so good. Everyone loves to eat! I love this food because it is not a crumble but little itty bitty balls. No waste!!!! No powder!!!! Will continue to purchase.

Great food
By Miss on Jul 29, 2020
My ducklings and goslings love this food! They are growing beautifully and I don't have to guess what supplements they are missing because this is one of the very few foods that meets all their needs. The only issue I have is that it's hard to get unless you order directly from the manufacturer which is difficult because of the outrageous shipping costs. Hopefully chewy starts stocking more of it so I can continue feeding it.

the best starter feed
By Kimberley on Jul 24, 2020
There is simply no better way to start your ducklings etc. Mazuri is the brand zoos use, it has superior nutrition and research. Small, round pieces are easy for even newborns to eat. Highly recommend. Start your flock off right!
