Ducklings!

[Ilovemychicks08]

My ducklings will be ordered tomorrow by the local feed store and be in on Friday! So im thinking i will think about St. Patrickss day names since they are coming on St. Patricks day! They will be Welsh Harlequins and i will post pics as soon as they arrive! I am so excited! I have all the brooder supplies ready, i will be buying the feed on Friday when i get them, And i found nutritional yeast! I also will be using a cookie sheet with a cooling rack to try and minimize the mess with the food and water. Thanks to everyone that also helped with all the threads i posted!

Great plan!! I like using a plastic milk container with small holes on the side for ducklings and goslings. Keeps them from walking in dishes. Also recommend picking up a bag of pine shavings. Remember, don't use newspaper on the bottom of their pen. Good luck! I'm also expecting ducklings soon!

I actually am already going to use the milk jug, i have a rubbermaid container for the week. I will be using puppy pads for the first few days, someone reccomended that. And i have pine shavings that i use for my chickens, i will be using those for them. Please post pictures of yours when they arrive!

Expecting 8 to hatch next week, 3 to hatch the beginning of April, and the two bigger eggs are goose eggs!

I used the plastic milk containers last year but my ducklings kept getting inside and going for a swim. So I will have to figure out something else this year for my ducklings

What breed of ducks lay the green eggs?

You can make something like this and depending on how many ducklings you'll have make multiple.

My blue runner duck lays green eggs. The green eggs in the incubator have a faun and white runner father. I can't wait to see what the babies look like!!!
