Awesome! Thank you so much! I will go read up on this! If I get my choice....he will end up being a very spoiled house duck. But - if he does go out with the chickens and turkey, they have misters, a UV shade tarp, and an indoor enclosure they can go in at any time.
I am feeding him game bird chick starter, that is what was recommended by Atwood's. But - I just got him this afternoon. They were all received yesterday afternoon from the hatchery.
Yes, Atwood's is similar to tractor supply! I've reached out to their corporate to see if they'll tell me. They have pretty poor customer service at my store, but I know last year I saw boxes from Ideal.
Is it common for one of the ducklings to be considerably smaller than the others? I know...
Any guesses on this little guy? He or she was incredibly smaller than the other ducklings. He is about the size of a week old bantam chick. He *should* be four to five days old. It's from Atwood's in Greenville, TX. Last year they received their poultry from Ideal Poultry. They wouldn't tell me...
