    Vibrating duckling?

    I was hand feeding some peas and corn to my girls and two of them walked up right to me but the third sat in the back for a little. When the other two walked away, I showed her some and dropped them in the water and she came. Then as I continued to hand feed her head and neck started vibrating...

    Panting ducklings

    They’ve been outside all today today (90 degrees) and have been panting all day long. They eat and drink normally and I also let them swim for a little. Is it okay for them to paint all day?

    Panting ducklings

    Thank you so much for the replies. They’ll be going out today since it’ll be raining and much cooler. I will freeze some water bottles and buy some frozen peas and corn for them.

    Panting Ducklings

    Their water bowl is small enough for them to get in and out but I guess they’re choosing not to swim

    Panting Ducklings

    My pekin ducklings (4 wks and 2 wks old) have been inside without a heat lamp. I turned off the fan and had the window open and started panting a lot. I since shut the window and turned back on the fan. I want them to get used to the heat since they’ll be outside soon but I’m afraid they’ll over...

    Coop

    Do ducks need to be in a coop at night? My run is secured with hardwire cloth and I have the dig defense aprons all the way around. I also have a tarp on top of the wire where the roof is. Is it okay to leave them out there during the night for a few weeks?

    Combining ducklings

    So I put my 4 wk old female pekin duckling with my 2 week old other female pekin ducklings. They eat, sleep, and drink together just fine but sometimes the oldest one pecks (nips?) at the little ones. One of the little ones pecks back sometimes but they mostly just walk away from the big one. Is...

    Ducklings in the dark?

    I’m getting ready to have my ducklings spend their nights outside. They’ve had the heat lamp on since they got here and I’m worried about how they’ll react to the dark. I turned the lights off in my room for about an hour and a half and they didn’t make a sound and didn’t get up to eat and drink...

    Building a run

    I’m going to start building my run today. It’s 10ft long and 6.5 ft wide. I’m thinking of completely covering the bottom with hardwire cloth and putting bedding on top of it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep predators out? In my neighborhood we have coyotes, rats, and snakes. I want to...

    New Babies

    So I just got my two new Pekin ducklings from Metzer farms. And one loves to eat and drink/play in the water and the other just wants to sleep. Is this normal?? It’s like she wants to sleep but her sister wants to be up so she just follows and stands around while her sister does her thing.

    How long before I can have my pekin ducklings outside?

    So I have one pekin duckling that is two weeks old and I will have 2 new 3-day-old ducklings on Wednesday. Now my Rosie only has her heat lamp on at night because my room gets fairly hot during the day (I live in FL). I was wondering how old yall think they should be before letting them spend...
