Hi everybody.
I'm getting a few ducklings from TSC next week and I have few questions.
I'm wanting to get either Rouen or Pekin.
*Do either of these breeds have a good tendency to brood?
*When do they begin to lay?
*can I feed them non-medicated chick starter and grower? (its the only feed, beside layer my feed store has)
*what about brooder temps, how warm should it be?
And
*how old before they can be moved outside?
Thank you all and sorry for the question overload!
