Hey everyone!

how can I tell how old my ducklings are? We have two Rouen ducklings. They are so fun!!

About 10 days to maybe a day less than two weeks. They look at about the size and maturity of mine, which are 10 days exactly.

Thank you. I know they won’t stay like this forever, wondering what their growth is like. Say within a month of life?

You'll be amazed. Just stand and watch you can almost see them grow before your eyes.

They are adorable.

My wife thinks I’m crazy when I tell her that they’ve gotten bigger in the past week.

Quick question. My wife and I are debating back and fourth weather or not we should keep the heat lamp on when they are in our home. It is drafty in here. We keep it warm. Sometimes they seem to get too hot and hid under some shade. I realized that I have a 250watt heat lamp at about 3ft. From them. I could of gotten a lower wastage but the co-op only had these. Any suggestions? I’m a new duckling daddy, and want to make sure our babies are ok.

Take the heat lamp away ( if they are inside only) and see if they get cold if so put the heat lamp back on....wjat are you keeping them in? Try to fine a bigger version of it and have where one side is warm and the other is cool. I'm sorry if this doesn't help but I hope it does!!
