New to BYC-new to raising ducks

[Debs Flock]

Wow! I'm so glad I found BYC. My ducklings (2 Pekins & 2 Rouens) are one week old today. All I can say is: unbelievably adorable! (No, I don't think I'm biased.) I love all creatures and I seem to be in good company here. I'll soon learn how to get pics from my phone posted here or somewhere and then to here. lol

Hello and Welcome To BYC! We would love to see pictures of your ducklings! You might like to check out the Duck forum https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks , and you might also like to check out the Duck section of the Learning Center, some nice articles on raising ducklings https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/other-backyard-poultry-ducks-quail-turkeys-geese-etc

Thanks, Kelsie! I appreciate the links. I'm a bit challenged by new technology and have never seen a site like this...full of forums, so finding my way around is still a bit of a challenge. Will definitely be doing lots more reading and will soon post duckling pics.

Glad you joined us!

Those are two great breeds you have! Yes, ducklings are very cute, I can't wait for mine to hatch in a couple of weeks!

Enjoy your new duckies.

Welcome to the flock. I'm not very computer literate either. Sometimes navigating is easily if you use the search box. Hope you enjoy BYC as much as we do.

Thanks all for the warm welcome! I'm currently researching: coops (yeah, don't have one built yet), drake to duck ratio (some concern here since I'm clueless and have no idea what gender my babies are) and diet. Tips, do's & don'ts welcome on these or any other ducky topics.
