if you want to turn the heat lamp on make sure you monitor there behavior, if they run from the light it’s too hot. If this happens raise the heat lamp a little. if they still run turn the heat lamp off completely. And then eating the shavings is fine it doesn’t do anything to them.
I have 2 ducklings I got them yesterday and don’t know how old they are. They still have they’re egg tooth so it leads me to believe they’re only a few days old. One is a Pekin and one is a Runner. I’ve been spending a ton of time with them and giving them treats yet they still won’t follow me...
