Hi all!
Let me get this right out of the way: I don’t know what I’m doing, this is my first time being a duck mama, please help me!
I did all the research I could on ducks and duck breeds, and settled on Pekin ducklings for my first ducks!
I currently have three, and plan to get a few more in the coming weeks.
My sweet yellow fluff butts are all I hoped they would be, and more! This is their second day with me, and they are all huddling together for most of the day. They peep and chirp, eat their food and drink, but any time I check on them, they’re always huddled like in the picture I attached.
I’m not sure if they’re cold or if this is just their happy place? They’re not huddled under the heat lamp, they’re towards the middle of the brooder, so that’s why I’m curious?
Thank you in advance,
Signed,
A very anxious first time duck mama
