Ducklings are here!
We just returned from Tractor Supply and we came back with ducklings! We think they are pekin, but cant be positive. Can anyone tell from these pictures? -
What duck should I get?
I suggestyou got Rouens! They have the ame colours as Malrds, and are to large to fly. -
Ducks mailed and still not arrived yet!
I would think so, but they didnt for us. It was very frustrating, and they sould have called us. -
Ducks mailed and still not arrived yet!
ok, the same thing happened to me today. We ended up calling them and it turns out theyere hippe backto the hatchery, due to bad weather. I suggest you call them and see whats happened. Good luck! -
What duck breeds are best?
Rouens would be an excellent choice for you! I recently purchased a couple, and they are amazng! They are very quiet, and will not fly. They als have the same colours as mallards do! -

Im raising 6 ducklings-what kind of wattage do i need in my heatlamp?

Im raising 6 ducklings-what kind of wattage do i need in my heatlamp?
@Amiga what do you mean when you say ceramic? Im really new to raising ducklings, so im going the cheapest and most basic route. How many ducklings did you have in your brooder? -
Im raising 6 ducklings-what kind of wattage do i need in my heatlamp?
So im raising ducklings, but putting them into two groups with three ducklings each. For a brooder, im making a home-made one, using a large tub. My question: what wattage bulb do i need and will it melt the plastic?? Any advice would be geat :) -

Science fair expierament
Ok, so me and a friend are entering in a science fair. We want to test something on ducks, but need ideas. The ducklings will be a day old when they arrive and we will have about a month to run the experiment. In this process the ducklings will not be harmed in any way. We had these ideas... -
