Hey everyone,

Im new here, and im wondering if anyone has any advice on taking care of ducklings? Im new to this, i just got my first ducklings three or four days ago from a tractor supply store.

Here is one of them with me (anyone know what type of duck this is?)

Any advice at all will help, be it basic stuff or more particular stuff

I bet you are! I got my two ducklings a month ago and I have already learned so much from BYC, you are very lucky you found it, because now you will have advice from very wise duck mommas, and then you will become one! Keep us updated on how your ducks are doing!

Same way I found it, do you know how old your ducklings are? And how many did you get?

It's a pekin.
There is a ton of info here. Check out the sticky threads and just spend some time browsing the threads. TONS of info here.
Good luck with the new additions.
