    Ducklings and Drakes

    My 7 ducklings are now 5 weeks old. Boy do they grow fast. I have had mom with them this whole time. My poor drake is alone on the other side of their divided enclosure, he also has access to outside where the other others do not. My Drake is a big Peeking. Mom is a Magpie. There is so much...

    All ducklings are doing great. The little one is thriving and back with the bunch. Thanks for the encouragement!

    Duckling made it through the 1st 24hrs…

    Is it normal for them to do a “ nippy” thing to me. But at the same time, it waddles up my chest and gets into my hair and does it on my neck. Does that mean it hasn’t imprinted and wants to be with its mom? I would compare it to an affectionate nibbling of a dog. I am so confused and I want...

It seems to be doing a little better. I...

    It is for newly hatch duckling. It has plenty of niacin and high in protein.. So the one in the picture kind of laying down, I was quite concerned about after posting. I brought it in the house in a clean, safe enclosure with, Water and Feed. It is so wobbly, but is drinking plenty of water...

    I will double check on the bag. This is what was suggested for newly hatched ducklings. I read about the niacin and how important that is also. Thank you very much for your input. 😅

    Ducklings

    Mama is doing what mamas do best❣️ I just worry about them getting nutrition. I’ve read they’re good for about 48 hours before they start needing to eat and drink. Has that been your experience? Will mama show them? We are dealing with unseasonably warm weather for the next week so that is...

    Ducklings

    Greetings! Bear with me I’m new on here. So much information and I definitely need it.. I am new to raising ducks. I have a male/Drake peeking and a female magpie. She hatched six ducklings within the last 24 hours. We are in the thick of January in the Midwest. They seem to be doing OK one...
