I ended up with 7 baby ducks today. I was supposed to get 3 at first, then it turned into 5. Met the girl in the Tractor Supply parking lot and went in to get some shavings. They had a TON of ducklings still. So I ended up with 2 more because thats the minimum! Oh and I'm not telling dbf about the 24 hatching eggs I brought home.
The first 5 are Buff/Rouen/Khaki Campbell mixes and then I got 2 Blue Swedish. They're all about 3 days old.
I was going to brood them outside like I brood chicks because our temps are between 45° and 60° but figured I'd wait until they got a little bigger. I'm using a brinsea ecoglow20 and it seems to be working well.Theyre in a small kiddie pool lined with plastic sheeting. I made a platform covered with hardware cloth and put puppy pads on top. Hoping for an easy to clean mess!
