new to caring for ducklings

[Katy]

I get it at a couple of local feed stores. I'd go to the Purina website and they have a list of local dealers by state.

you might try Tractor Supply in Bentonville, or I think there is a feed store on the new road that runs in front of wally world to Hwy 102 also in Bentonville.

Most farm stores will have non medicated poulty grain. Mine also love most veges (green leafty types), cooked beans, worms especially. Would suggest getting another for company also. Check out my website for a few tips. Good luck!! The nice thing with one or two is they are really friendly!!

I finnaly got gary to eat the chick starter. We went to the tractor supplie in bentonville and got some grit. We decided to just try to feed him grass and watercress. He will eat it but he is also eating the chick starter so we didnt get some name brand chick starter and got some from the local feed store.

Trout, here is a link to a site that will help identify your duckling, and is great for other fowl as well.

I know that it is a pekin I was messing with the photo and I didnt think that it would show up on the link. I fixed it now. I think it is around a week old but I am not sure.
