I see why people call them yucklings :( (question page 2)

My 4 new baby ducks are the biggest pigs ever. They drink more and smell worse than 26 pheasant did. They seem to like the wet brooder, but I don't so I change it. I put them on pine shavings today hopefully that absorbs a little bit more then paper towels.

Try puppy pee pads...that what I use for my ducklings. You still have to change them, but they absorb a lot of the mess.

You would be better off during the day to give them a place in the grass in a wire pen on sunny hot days.

I save the brooder and shavings for when I bring them in at night.

By 4 weeks since the weather is really warming up you can put them outdoors in a closed run with shelter.

I don't know where I could get some. I am not sure I could get my parents to get some for me either.

They have them at Walmart in the pet section. They don't cost that much. offer to do some chores in return for them.

I can't wait to get them outside!

I put mine in a portable wire rabbit cage with a towel in it to protect their feet. Then I put the cage on blocks in the shower. We have a hand held shower and I would periodically spray all the stuff down the drain. Made life a bit easier. They are poop machines.

Like MissPrissy said, put them out during the day.

Even though they are only a few days old.
