Duckling Care

Yes...let them play and then dry them off

At that age a baking dish makes a great little pool for them. They get soaked pretty quickly, but they seem to enjoy being able to swim a little every day.

I had mine out of the brooder a lot when the weather permitted and I could be there with them. At some point they would pile on top of each other tired and I would pet them back in the brooder.

They are so precious at this age. Enjoy every minute of it... it goes SO fast.

With a baking dish can they get in and out themselves? How deep should it be? Above their knees? They were having such a great time.

I put a towel around the outside so they could get in, and then watched them in it. You'll notice them getting a little soaked looking. Then you just bring them out and snuggle them in a towel.
