Okay! It just sucks cuz it’s been so windy and rainy here all week and I feel bad because I work during the day time and I’ve been working in their coop and run as often as I can afford it! They are in the milk house right now which is about 75-80
Could someone tell me when they can be out of their “brooding homes”?? They are just about a month old. Here in central Minnesota, it’s been about 45-50 degrees lately albeit every now and then we’ll have a 70 degree day with sun (finally) Just wondering when they can run around outside??
So I live in central Minnesota which is currently 46 degrees out, should I just keep bring the ducks in every few days to swim in the tub? Since it’s too cold out for a pool??
Thank you!! ♥️ I currently have them in the milk house of the barn where it’s room temp (69/70 degrees) but I have them in a large dog pen with a heat lamp and feed and their hanging waterer, otherwise they tip it over, and then I let them outside the days it’s been nice out in a fenced in area...
So I have this little brown bag of vitamins from Fleet Farm, it’s called “Save-A-Chick” but it’s for all breeds of poultry, and it’s mixed in their water, and yes it does look yellow. Should I just look to see if that’s in it? Then I can use it for the duckies too?
I have 3 Pekin Ducklings about 4-5 weeks old, 2 of them have a pale pink beak and the other has an orange beak. The one with an ORANGE beak has a little “cold” I feel? It’s nasal passages were really clogged BUT I have them in the bathtub as we speak.
They all cleared their little beaks, but...
