My brother just got some day old chicks and ducklings and he refuses to use a brood lamp.
He thinks he knows everything about chickens but he is constantly having them die before they mature. I afford to let him use my brood lamp and his reply was "NAH it is warm enough for them".
During the day...
I have a White Pekin Duckling that is 5 days old. He has a tuft of hair sticking out from the back of her head and I was wondering it is a crested duck.
My name is Charles
I am completely new to raising Chickens and Ducks.
I have been reading articles and helping my brother take care of his birds.
He keeps telling me that I do not have to do what I have read but I want to be sure before I buy some chicks
