yes i am prepared for ducklings i have a few holes and i have also made a large hole through other side with wire for better ventilation. and yes of course i have feed and water for them and they have a water bottle that lasts all through the night oh and i know they not bugs
yes i do put the lid on how is this a bad idea? and there only a couple of days old. and i put them in a fenced encloser no predators can get to them. i poke a few holes inside so they can breathe.
i had a polostryrine box and i put thermal stuff around the sides and at night i leave a hot water bottle in there and leave them outside is this a bad idea!!
i had a male and a female aylesbury duck i saw them both mating then the male died a couple of days later i found a nest so i moved her and her nest into a cage and now she just keeps dropping eggs around the cage and not in the nest i kept moving the nest around and today i actually saw her...
sorry i don't really know much on breeds but i do know that it is very hard to sex a duck. usually stores say that the duck is female because most people want females and they can also be more expensive. you'll probably have to wait till he/she is older
I've got 6 eggs in my incubator 5 of them our 26 days old and 1 of them is 29 days old. I've been candling all of them and they are all still alive. any ideas why they haven't pipped yet!
