Pekin Ducklings going down at nights

Is that cedar bedding your using? Mine will breath slightly heavier than other breeds, nothing noticeable though.

Does look like cedar ! @spolex cedar fumes are harmful to poultry. I’d replace with pine shavings asap

Yes it is, and I didn't know that. I will do that right know. I am wondering why in TSC didn't tell me anything...I don't mind about me but about ducklings health.

Thank you guys for all your advices.

Never trust employees at TSC to know what’s best for our ducks, chicks etc. most of the time they are clueless.

I'd open some windows to get the fumes out.

Pekins seem be be the ones that do this. Sometimes it’s too warm but I think it’s mainly just the breed. @MasterOfClucker has Pekins. That’s great I love your brooder set up. Are you going to go get a few more to add to those cuties? What is your bedding? And did you get some liquid b complex for their fast growing legs?

I didn't think about adding more. Cedar, I am replacing it ASAP...I didn't know is toxic for them.
I will go to TSC and buy pine breed and b complex

It has to be required minimum knowledge about it. TSC should train them

I have just done it while I am going to TSC to get pine shavings.

You guys are awesome...it is very clear your experience with poultry.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I agree if they are going to offer live poultry someone in the store should have knowledge.

 

[spolex]

I supose the one bellow is safe for them, right?

@Miss Lydia how would you recommend give them the B complex? Once a day? Mixed with water? And how much?

I am learning a lot just in a day thanks of you guys! What a surprise run into this amazing community.
