Hello!
It's been about 4 seasons since I've last had ducklings. I was considering going with the outdoor brooder method this year. Our temps are H of 85-90 and low in mid 50s right now. I am expecting a batch of 6 ducklings next week. I was going to make a MHP type set up with the tunnel etc but...
Here are examples of my Ducks "before and after" - maybe can help with ducking ID?
Anyway, taken at one week and 8 weeks!
Welsh Harlequin
Saxony (This is the one who was sick but she is 100% ok now!)
Pekin
Silver Appleyard
Buff
My new order of baby ducks came in Wednesday morning! I have had chickens/ ducks/ turkeys before but not for a few years so I am re-learning what I am doing with them.
I wanted a color mixed flock so I have one of each: Saxony, Pekin, Buff, Silver Appleyard and Welsh Harlequin.
Four out of...
