This is how my brooder is set up. The babies seem to spend most of their time over where the food & water is as you can see by all the poop. There isn’t much poop else where besides in the chips right next to the water corner ( I think that’s where they sleep?) I worry because when I get home...

So it seems that my babies aren’t using their heat cave...if they were cold, would they use it? I don’t know what happens throughout the night & it’s only day 2. But I worry too much and now is when heat is important. I did end up putting a space heater over there but only using it at night time...

Just shavings and maybe straw. The heat cave will be the only source of heat they’ll have. I’m hoping the people who told me they don’t really need very much heat after the first week or two were right and they get use to the chiller temperatures during their exploration outside in the evening &...

Put my heat cave together today! Super nervous about using it because I’m such a worry wart but I did the best I could so hopefully the duck tape is done good enough (safe enough for the babies) and the heat pad heats it up enough! Only a couple more day till their here! :)

I hope you’re right about Shadow being a girl. They were quacking up a storm yesterday when we walked outside then my husband picked each of them up and walked away and nothing, not one quack. Being stubborn. Hah. But I’m sure I’ll get a video of them quacking at some point this week. Maybe I’ll...

Oh they are noisy! Have been for a few weeks now. They are Rouen ducklings. They were 6 weeks on Saturday. I posted a thread around 4 weeks with pictures asking for help sexing them but most people said they couldn’t tell and to post pictures/videos at 8 weeks! That’s still 2 weeks away! We’re...

I will take lots of pictures & videos for sure. They grow up so fast! I just hope they arrive safely & ALIVE! Very nervous about that as we ordered them from Mezter farms in California & we live in PA! That’s a long trip for new born ducklings! But no where around us sold the breed of duck we...

Thank you! you’re a life saver. We’re only getting two ducklings. They’ll be inside of our 2nd building but it doesn’t have heat. So protected from any winds but if it’s getting cold outside it could get cold in the building. They’ll be here next Wednesday and we’re still looking at 65-70...

@WannaBeHillBilly So I got my supplies to make my MHC! My heat pad perfectly covers the top of it. Sooo I need your opinion on what to use on my back & sides? Just duct tape or some kind of wool, felt, flannel? There was a larger heat pad but it had an automatic shut off so I went with this...
