I went outside about 5:30 this morning to the duck pen outside my room because quackmire was chirping loudly. I arrived to see no signs of daisy.. They are only 3 weeks old and the only "predators" we have normal birds. What could've happened? She couldn't even fly or quack yet.
It's been over a week since I got my mallard and he hasn't grown at all. The yellow one I got with it was grown a lot... Should I be worried? What does this mean?
I'm still deciding what I'm going to do for the pen. I have turned toward getting a small dog house and eventually adding a nesting box.. I have no idea how to make a run though.
There's that same coop here at rural king. I was going to get one of those but I figured a bigger one would be better to put a little pool in. I say we don't have predators because there's been this chicken roaming around the neighborhood for years...
I was thinking about getting a house like this one... http://m.rakuten.com/product/240561923
Then fencing off an area around if for them to be during the day. We don't have any raccoons or roaming dogs around here..
They get a lot of food in the bottom of the waterer even though they're on opposite sides of the box. They seem scared of the heat lamp but will sleep under it at night.
I'm in Kentucky. And I'd love to get some more, but my mother wasnt very happy about these! When I get a pin set up maybe she'll let me get some more! Would I need to completely inclose the area or will they not be able to fly out?
This is Daisy :) The other was Quackmire :)
I got two ducks from Orchlen's on Saturday and am now keeping them in my room. They are my SAE project for FFA so I can't keep them in there forever, especially when they get bigger. I was planning on getting a chicken house that sits on the ground and put 24x13 garden liners around a 10'x13'...
