They are all doing well. I have put the silkies on the patio during the day, and the ducklings in the laundry. My hubby's on night shift and they can be so noisy during the day.
My grand daughters want me to take them to school on Wednesday. The told them today and they asked me to bring them in. Haha should be interesting. Not sure how well they will do without a heat source. I think I might put a heat pack in the bottom of the box.
How are your babies doing? Any luck with adopting another duckling or have you decided not to now?
At least you have older ducks they can go with. Mine are running around like mad. Playing, chasing each other through the water and generally being idiots. I'm constantly cleaning up there water container and trying to keep everything dry. When I'm cleaning the brooder they keep pecking my wedding ring and my fingers. They have so much personality. When they get too noisy my husband says they are calling for you mum.
I'm using the non slip draw liners. I put paper towel down and the liner on top and change the liner during the day. I rinse it out if hottish water and it dries in no time. I only change the paper towel a couple of times and I have a thin sponge under the liner under the water container. The water container also sits in a takeaway lid. They get water everywhere. What are you using? I'm thinking of changing to hemp bedding soon.
I have tried to post this 3 times now. Its getting frustrating.
That's good. I thought mine were dirty. I change the main non slip mat morning and night. yes under the food and water a few times. Messy sods they are. I've just put their water bowl inside another bowl slightly bigger, I'm hoping that works better to keep everything dry. At the moment they are in the laundry. I was wondering when to put them outside in the enclosed patio. I was thinking of putting hemp down in the bottom of the brooder a well. But I'm not sure how long to wait. They are getting big already.
I've moved the silkies out to patio tonight, but they have a good enclosed brooder with heat. I've just put hemp on their floor today. I don't know much about ducks.
