hey everyone! i’m getting my first ducklings soon (from tractor supply) and will probably be getting pekins. i have some questions because i want to prepare for them asap.
1) what food is best (i am like 90% sure there is no duck food at tractor supply because i didn’t see any, so would chick starter work?)
2) and then treats! what kind of treats do ducks like (what kinds of fruits, vegetables, bugs, ect) for them?
3) so could i use a storage container as a brooder for them and what age should we move them to an adult coop?
4) has anyone tried using harnesses on their ducks and where do u recommend getting them (and duck diapers) from?
5) indoor house ducks! does that work or should they be outside full time, half indoor half outdoor, or what?
thanks!
