    Ducling brooder on the right track?

    I think you’re right on about the bucket feeder - that seems like the easiest place to start. This morning I dropped a scoop of feed on the ground by their kiddie pool hoping they would gobble it up before the goaties finished their grain - they were pretty excited to be swimming but I think...

The plan is to drop the duck house in the goat run so they can get locked up at night by have the run and eventually the tub for a pool. Need to figure out a drain stopper and drain plan for the tub. Ideas are...

    That’s the base of the duck house. It’s a pallet shipping crate lined with hardware cloth - it will have plywood walls and roof and a hatch door so we can lock them up safely at night.

My question is feeding them - not quite sure how as the chickens...

    Ducling brooder on the right track?

    Thanks everybody - they seem happy enough. My son cut a portion of a big plastic mixing bowl and we put the milk jug in it to try to contain some of the water so we’ll see what that does for now. May try a plastic lidded container with a half circle cut out - has anyone tried that? The kids...

    Ducling brooder on the right track?

    we picked up 3 cutie pie 10 day old Peking ducks today. I’ve got them in the trough with water food and an eco brooder. We gave them lots of outside and swim time when we got home, dried them off and showed them the eco brooder. They’re snuggled up there now. Can anyone offer anything that I’m...
