    1.5 week old ducklings outside

    Hello, Being a new duckling momma, I need some opinions.. My 4 Ancona ducklings are currently being brooded in a large wire dog crate with straw and a towel in my kitchen. I recently upgraded their water container which has cut down on their space. I know they aren’t big enough to go outside...

    Brooder light for ducklings

    Hello, I’m a very new duckling owner and have a question about lighting in the brooder. My brooder will be indoors.. in my entry way. Not super keen on the idea of the smell but I’ve wanted ducks for 2 yrs now so it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. (: Anyways, I plan on using a ceramic bulb...
