New Duck Owner

[Tropical Chickies]

Hi guys! I just got my very first duck today and was hoping that you could answer a couple of questions for me? I forgot to ask the breeder how old it was and what type of breed. Can anyone guess it's age and breed? I'm feeding Purina Flock Raiser, is this okay? I put dry crumbles in one feeder and made a mash out of it too and put that in a separate dish. Thanks for any input or educated guesses you can provide

Flock Raiser is great!

It looks like a Welsh Harliquin to me but I'm not positive. Less than a week old.

Welcome to the Duck side!

What a precious little peanut!

(Might it be a good idea to get a duck buddy?)

Thanks Kevin! This was a spur of the moment purchase, but I am excited about it. So much to learn. Time to create a duck habitat

Yes, I agree with a duck buddy. This was the only duck they had so I figured I'd snatch it up and look for a friend for it this week.

It's no problem at all. Ducks are going to be a lot of fun to keep around! You should be able to get answers to an questions you have in this section.
