Mud flaps also are fun to a duck...watermelon....Mine carry pebbles into the kiddie pool and play with them too...

My 1 duckling seems to make bubbles out of 1 nostril and the other looks completly closed. I have been giving my ducklings (4 days old) crumbles with water like oatmeal. Do u think that its better to give it dry crumble instead? Maybe he will have an easier time getting the food down?

Stop the oatmeal ....

Stop the oatmeal ....

So then do i give them dry chick crumble?

Provide water at all times it can dunk its full head....Ducks need to clear their nares many times during the day....

They always have water. I guess ill just give them the dry crumble and see what happens.

They need water deep enough to dunk their entire heads in...Not just the Bill....Reason for plugged nares.....

 

[chickens really]

Wet the feed like a mush and provide water at all times to dunk their nares.....Dry feed on the side.....
