I just have another quick question. My ducklings are 3 weeks now and are growing rapidly. They are currently in an indoor run however I feel they have out grown it as it becomes dirty very quickly. I also want them to get enough exersize for proper development. I do put them in the bath to have a good swim. Does anyone recommend a next stage housing for them? And when should I change their feed from ad lib chick crumb? There is so many different opinions! Thank you for your helpthere is a photo of my cayuga ducklings!
I think amiga gave you some very good advice! Just another thought... I was raising my babies in the middle of winter so you can imagine they were quickly outgrowing their brooder and it was WAY too cold to even get outside. I ended up using our bathtub as a brooder. We just filled it with a thin layer of straw and cleaned it daily. The kids thought it was pretty funny to have a bunch of ducks looking at you while using the restroom but it worked!
