DUCK QUESTIONS!!! You should Answer them :)

[hollymh]

So I have a few questions about my new baby, like...

When can he play in the water?!?

When can he have greens like lettuce and peas?!

When he is grown and off the starter feed, what will he need then?!

Thanks!!!

I have another!!!

I have a kiddie pool I plan on using for my ducks, but I was wondering if I spray paint it dark green to make it less ugly will it hurt my ducks?! I plan on adding a little fountain in it too, but just curious about the spray paint really?

i believe you can let him swim in shallow water from day one, but be sure to get him right under a nice and toasty heat lamp and dry him off well afterwards...i used lukewarm water when i let my ones bathe in a tupperware LOL.

i started giving greens at 2.5 weeks, like i did with my chicks giving them treats at 2 weeks... i floated them in their duck pool outside and they bobbed for them.
