Artificial Brooding

[TylerWaugh]

I have some questions about brooding ducks and geese.

When can I allow them to start swimming? My brooder is large enough for a kiddie pool and I would like to add it to the brooder, I will put the water at 95degrees. And dry them off afterwards.

When can I allow them to start swimming un-supervised?

Can i add ducks and geese of the same a age to a brooder or should I put older ducks with geese.

I'll have more questions later probably.

I would have the water 90F, same as the brooder air for the first week, anyway.

Have you seen this?
