As long as the heat lamp and shroud aren't actually in contact with the plastic it should be just fine. If its hot enough in there to melt plastic your little duckies wouldn't be doing too well! Ha. I personally use a large dog kennel for all my baby fowl. It works really well. You just need a... -

Haha! Over here a tote can be a shopping bag or in this case one of those plastic storage containers that have the snap on lids! A large dog kennel works great too! -

Oh man! That sounds like quite the rough time. You can usually get ahold of security cameras fairly cheap. They might be worth the investment. -

Here's another one. It wouldn't let me upload two for some reason. -

[/IMG] Anyone have any ideas what this little girl is? I'm thinking snowy mallard. She's two weeks old and I'm too impatient to wait for feathering. =D -
Rescued duckling not active? Help!
Mr. Solo does limp a little though... I looked at his feet and the bottom of one of them looks like he scraped it... it's clean and doesn't look infected... is there anything I should do aside from watch it? To me, the fact fact that he limps means it's fairly painful, so I'm worried about him. -

The babies are getting huge! They now live with han solo full time and he couldn't be happier! Mr solo has almost got his wings grown out now too! -

The first time he kept grabbing their heads so it was a VERY short visit. Now he may nibble just a little but mostly just enjoys swimming with them. He was quite upset when I put them away this time. -

If love is occasionally grabbing their feathers then yes... If not he's still working on it, although he is MUCH nicer than the first intro. -

Han Solo teaches the babies how to splash bathe and eat off the bottom! -
Feather pecking question.
My 2 Easter Egger hens have had their beards and cheek puffs pecked totally off by the other hens. The birds are all about six months old and there are other "pecking order" injuries in the flock ( just little scabs on combs, nothing crazy) but I was wondering if I need to step in and try to...- dham

The babies are doing well. They both seem strong and healthy and they meet a few times daily for a group swim (supervised of course) so they can get used to each other -

Haha! Ill be sure to up his dosage then -
Rescued duckling not active? Help!
I don't have the tablets. Its the powdered kind so I just sprinkled about a teaspoon on and mixed it in. He was up and eating this morning so he's getting better! -

Han Solo is enjoying some snuggle time. He says he could get used to this lap duck thing. -

I will! How much yeast do I use? Do I just sprinkle a bit on their food or is there a specific ratio for say a cup or two at a time? -

I will look into that definitely. I'm not yet but I was going to pick up some brewer's yeast for him and the babies this weekend. -

K, I didn't get a chancery post when I was home earlier but Han Solo appeared to have eaten and drank some water on his own! He's still laying down a lot though. The ducklings are doing great so far too! AND today was the first day ALL six hens laid! YAYYY! -

I think he's 4 or 5 weeks. Seeing as I don't. Know his background tho I'm not 100% sure.
