Guess who's duck eggs finally hatched

The first little one out of 13!



I've got a ton of questions......
What do they eat? Aren't they cold or will mama duck keep them warm?

Help!! Lol

Babies eat a non medicated chick starter, preferably organic, and the mom will probably eat that to, its good for both of them since it holds many healthy vitamins and minerals for ducks. babies should always be attended by their care taker ( a human not the mother duck) to make sure they don't drown or get over stimulated. The mother should keep them warm. Make sure babies don't get to dehydrated or over hydrated, they can easily bloat and pass away. Always be sure they have water but make sure they don't have to much, it's complicated. The mother should have a separate water source so the babies will always have enough to drink, preferably get a gallon bucket or two gallon bucket so for the mother if u don't have a bucket already. and make sure the food is never on the ground make sure its in a container of some kind, like a dog bowl or even a peanut butter jar top so the babies can reach it. Always keep a clean environment so the babies don't develop any respiratory issues.

I was reading about that actually, it is recommended but it would be an inside outside goat, like a dog lol, so It would have friends inside and everything, plus I would get a girl so no much agression and I would get her spade an dehorned just so it would be okay to have inside.

My goat was potty trained. You could take her for car rides (which she loved) and never had to worry about the seats. She was a full sized French Alpine. They are really fast learners - very easy to train. Mine knew a variety of tricks, and was very people oriented!

did she get along with your dogs?

Yes she did. She was afraid of them when I got her, but I would put my head down and charge at dogs while she watched. She picked up fast, and pretty soon easily punted any dogs she didn't know. She loved our collie and they were great friends. She would let him admire her kids (he loved baby animals) and was never aggressive towards them. She knew the difference between her dog and any dog that did not live on the property. She trusted family, but would use her horns to escort intruders out of the area.
