You might need to worm him too.Look how tiny! I wish you all could feel how thin. When he's stronger I'll bathe him but I can't do it to him yet.View attachment 1492708
I cut a hole in a plastic gallon milk bottle about half way up the side...just big enough for the babies to get their head and neck in to drink. Solved the water spills at night....keeping the bedding dryer.I have a question. I am waking up in the morning to my duckies water being empty, and we even top it off before we go to bed. So I'm trying to figure out if I should maybe take their food up at night, thinking maybe if they don't eat so much at night that they won't need to use as much water to swallow and clean their nares etc, or do I need to figure out a different water solution? I know we took up our chicks food at night but these aren't chickens. I don't know if you can do that to ducks? I know they are just growing and being ducks like ducks need to do. Suggestions from any of you duck owners?
*side note*
Ducks may take forever to hatch but once they do, they grow friggin' fast! They'll be 2 weeks old Monday and are quickly outgrowing the brooder we have them in.![]()
