Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Dianne1928]

Is it safe to ship call ducklings? I only ask because most refuse to do so.

I don't see why not. Most people don't because they are so small, and because show breeders don't know who they want to sell until they feather out.

Ah ha, now I know the truth!

Yes gro gel is good for shipping ducks ducklings etc,

I feed mine chick starter first 2 weeks then I switch them to a mix of chick starter and layer pellets.

Adults get layer pellets, hemp seeds, greens in their water, minnows, crickets and mealworms.

GREENS IN THEIR WATER? can you please explain..... LOL HUMP SEEDS. ooops hemp seeds hahaha

Lol did I detect a bit of sarcasm in that post???

I don't spoil them. We have bearded dragons and so tons of crickets and meal worms, I share with the ducks.

Bait shop has minnows for $1.59 a dozen so I grab several dozen once a week.

Do you Raise your own mealworms? I have two containers FULL OF THEM... LOL.. I have a bearded Dragon. OMG WE ARE TWINS!!!

By the way I heard from the lady Im getting my magpie ducklings from!! She just had two blues hatch out last night!! So I should be getting 4-5 magpies, then she's putting in a couple fillers. Shipping next Monday, whoop!!!

GRRRR, TEASER!!!

OMG really you have dragons too?! Haha awesome!!!

Greens in water: like chard and romaine lettuce, bok choy. Whatever I have on hand for the dragons. I put it in their water because it wilts otherwise and they don't eat it.

Whelp I haven't had ducks a full year yet but I suppose I will do it until I go broke or minnows aren't available. It's florida though so ha.

I finally got another call egg today. Woohoo!!! Hopefully the others will join in soon too

Oh and my last egg from before they quit laying internally pipped yesterday and has now externally pipped today. Will be up most of the night waiting for the zipping to start I'm a little concerned though as he's not due til Sun. Everything I've hatches in the incubator has always hatched a day early but this would be really early.
