Im about 95% percent sure they are..I went into tractor supply to get a hat and walked out with these three because I felt absolutely terrible leaving them there in the crowded tub with 30 others(I love tractor supply but it pulled at my heart strings). They wouldn't and couldnt give me an exact...

Oh my goodness! So cute!

There isn't really a way to keep them clean or not have to clean daily/every other day but what I do is put a layer of horse stall pellets under the bedding (straw, shavings, etc of your choice) and it soaks up all the moisture which ultimately rid's the smell and most of the water mess. Soaks...

I absolutely love the cute and unique names everyone comes up for their little feathered children so I'd love to hear them! These are my babies..."June" "Johnny" and "Cash"(Cash runs around like a maniac too much to ever get a picture without him being cut out or blurry so the name has become...

Right now I'm just using straw until they are out of the brooder and im not cleaning as often (went through my shavings in a matter of days) I'm not really looking to use it as a fertilizer, more or so just as a top mulch right now because I already mixed compost into the beds. Didn't know if...

I've looked through other threads and can't seem to find a clear cut answer. I have three little duckling(starting to get in tail feathers and have faint little quacks*tear* growing too quick for my liking haha) and am curious how you rid of your old bedding. Right now I still have them in the...

It could be Internet speeds..mine sometimes won't let me when my Internet speeds get lowered (I live in the country and have satellite internet)

I will also suggest (which has worked for me) to slightly raise one side of the brooder (the side that doesn't have the food and water), it will keep the area they sleep dryer then the area they eat and spill water. The water tends to pool and soak all the bedding when its all level so if one...

Any possibility of getting into anything(poisen wise, cleaning supplies, garden supplies etc etc), or even any pesticides, fertilizer or anything sprayed in the yard or around pen? If not my only other thought would be mites. I'd just keep an eye on her for the next day or two and see if it...

Oh goodness! Good for you for finding them! I was overwhelmed with mine at first but even with all the information they aren't terribly difficult to take care of. Make sure they have a waterer that is deep enough to stick their full head in, but not big enough for them to climb into(I'll attach...

It could be the beginning of a respiratory infection, do you notice any sneezing or crackled sounding breathing (put your head to its chest or side and you'll hear it), panting, lethargy, etc etc?

I know! They've already doubled in size in a week! Trying to get them accustom to being held and messed with but they just aren't having it without a fight, scared I'll break them with all the squirming. I'll more then likely have baby fever in 4 months and have to get more

My new babies!! Getting used to their night house and awaiting the supplies to finish and extend the pen with a pond and enclose it with hardware wire(I have fish line tied on top of the pen for the hawk protection). They aren't in the pen without supervision and in the brooder inside at night...

Thanks everyone!! We finally finished redoing the house we got for them and temporary pen (until all the supplies gets here) I can now understand how people end up with dozens of ducks, theyre so fun to be around and full of personality!

I have three new ones also, about a week or two old and I'm planning on keeping them indoors (unless it's daytime)for atleast the next three weeks...the only reason I chose this is because I want to bond with them more so they choose to come to me rather then run away and even the slightest wind...

Haha oh yes! I've already planned on getting a few more once I get a good plan for building my own coop and run. Just didn't want to overwhelm myself all at once not having a duck before. I had a few as a kid but they were mean little stinkers to everyone but the adults

Yea I'm planning on cutting a window on every wall and possibly installing some sort of vent on the roof for the really hot nights and just covering them with hardware wire

I am a new duck mommy, just picked up 3 little ducklings this week. Currently they're still in my bathroom as I'm getting the pen and coop finished. Any idea what kind these could be? When they're in the sun theyre a dark green,not sure if that matters. Also, Im supposed to be picking up a hen...
