    The little one that wouldn't stand up is doing well. The vitamin/electrolyte supplement helped. They got to go outside for a little while this afternoon. My boys enjoyed feeding them peas!

    Is it ok to put a few day old ducks with a couple week olds?

    Our three Pekin ducks are a little over two weeks old. My boys want at least one more to replace the one that died but who can buy just one. The local farm store is suppose to get 40 in Friday morning. Is that to much difference in age to keep them together? Thanks.

    Gamebird Feed mixed with Medicated Chick Starter question?

    Would it hurt to give my 8 week old chicks this mix? I picked up the wrong bag when I mixed the Gamebird starter with the medicated chick starter. I have switched my ducks to Purina Flock Raiser and I hate to waste the mix I have? It is about a 60% Gamebird 40% Chick Starter mix. Thanks

    Week old Pekin Duckling not standing up?

    Hello, We have 4 Pekin ducklings. They are a little over a week old. Three of them stand up and run around but one won't stand up? It just kind of wobbles around without extending its legs? Any help would be appreciated. I am researching but figured a post would be quicker. Thanks
