    Type of feed for 5 month old ducks

    I live in Northeast Ohio where it has been rather cool lately. My 7 ducks (2 Welsh Harlequins, 2 Cayugas, 2 Blue Swedes, and 1 Buff Orpington) currently are on Purina duck grower feed. They have been exhibiting the maturing/dominance behavior for at least a month now, but I'm not sure if they...

    What to feed 2-3 week old ducklings

    Hello, everyone! I can honestly tell you that after 3 weeks of ducklings - I'M OBSESSED!!! I have 3 3-week-olds and 4 2-week-olds; and boy do they grow fast! My question is, do I need to switch their feed since they are currently on Purina Flock Raiser? I really can't seem to find a good...

    Strange question about new ducklings....

    Thanks, all, for your input. It's been a crazy few weeks, as I had to work 6 days in a row for 2 weeks that I was not expecting to. I was hoping to have a few days off to spend with the ducklings, but all went well. The first 3 arrived from Metzer Farm (2 Blue Swedish and 1 Welsh Harlequin)...

    Strange question about new ducklings....

    Thanks for your input. That's my thought. I have an EcoGlow brooder light for them, so transport should be easier. I am getting Cayugas, Buff Orpingtons, Welsh Harlequins, and Blue Swedish. Very excited!! For sure I'll get pictures:)

    Duck Pen Info Needed

    Think you for the advise. I like the idea of pea gravel and sand by the swim area. May be a stupid question, and maybe I will realize it once winter arrives (and I hope not too soon since it just recently left), but how do you clean it out when you get a lot of snow? We can get literally a...

    Hello, Everyone!!! I am new to this forum; I have gained a lot of helpful hints and ideas from here. I have never owned ducks before, and, for some odd reason, decided that this was the year to try. My husband has always wanted ducks, so before I get too old…. My question for all is: I...
