    Need help on new watering system

    For now I’ll be adding a in line ball valve above the pvc so at least I’ll have a reservoir and won’t have to bring the 1 gallon bucket waterer in the house each time

    Need help on new watering system

    Ok so. I’ll go over it quick. The idea is a hose is connected to a 5 gallon bucket that is connected to a pvc pipe with holes drilled out of it for my ducks to put their heads into. Ideally the bucket will be filled and will only fill enough to be slightly over where the tube is inside the...

    5-6 week old pekin wobble, walking issues

    I also chopped up some lettuce and sprinkled a tiny bit of the nutritional yeast on it and the wobble duck ate it right up. We’re gonna do that 2 to 3 times a day until the liquid shows up because of course I can’t find it locally so I had to order off Amazon

    New brooder/coop for the ducks

    Ok so the ducks grew a lot faster then I actually had time for so repairs to the coop, mainly the roof, didn’t get accomplished. But on a good note they are in their permenant structure. The 4x4x8 are not permanent as they will be the framework for the run. I gave them 5x more space then they...

    Near death experience for my ducks

    Going forward on broods I’ll probably use a heat pad. Checked everyone this morning and everyone seems fine. All the ducks will get a bath today as well so they can clean out their noses because some have some buildup around their nostrils probably from breathing in the smoke I was just happy...

    Near death experience for my ducks

    Ok so this is more a warning for others and also a learning experience for myself Last night I was awaken to the sound of fire alarms in my house at 2am. Got up, whole house was a thick cloud of smoke. Turns out the heat lamp for my duck brooder fell off(no clue how, it’s been in the same spot...

    Duckling grow along!

    They are quite big. We’ve been giving all the ducks time in our big bathtub every couple days whenever we clean the brooder out.

    When to start a daytime nighttime schedule

    Yea keep them to normal “summer” light schedule. What I use to do is acting up white Christmas lights around my coops and put them on timers. I would have the lights come on from like 6am-10am and also 5pm to around 8pm. This trucks the quails into thinking that it’s summer time all year hence...

    More duck ID…I’m sorry!!
