Since they don't have their momma I just need to be sure to dry them off I assume?View attachment 1505687 For swimming young ones I use a rubber livestock bowl with a brick so they can hop in easily.

No...I never worry about that. I have raised many Ducklings and Momma doesn't dry them. They dry quickly. That bowl is out at all times for swimming.Since they don't have their momma I just need to be sure to dry them off I assume?
Well I must have missed that fact! I didn’t see you bought sexed ducklings. You should be fine then. But had you got several males, they don’t do well with each other when females are around. If they are all males, you may not have a problem. But they can be turds so you never know.Whoa whoa whoa, what the heck are you talking about? I bought all Hens so I was unaware you had to check them!? So how you do this and why do you do this? Whats it matter if all males?
I pick them up because they either won’t go into their pen at night and I get tired of chasing them and worry about their legs. I also pick them up to give them a once over if they are acting funny. They get on my porch and crap and refuse to leave. So I to pick them up and move them to the yard. Little squirts.......I'm not sure why you would need to pick them up regularly for?..If you ordered all Hens hopefully that's what you received...Drakes can be hard on Hens and can kill chickens if they breed them.
No food or water in coop. Only in the cage I put hens and chicks in until the chicks are a couple weeks old. Then they go out with mom and the flock.It would probably be best the ducks have their own living space if you provide food an water inside your coop for your chickens. Ducks are very messy and will make a mess of the coop. Most of us duck owners keep food and water outside of the night coop. Guineas I know nothing about. There is a forum for them though. All my birds are together in a half acre during the day. Do fine together .
