Fingers crossed I will have some ducklings hatching on the 24th of April. The eggs are under a chicken, I plan to take them away, as soon as fluffy and put into a brooder.
questions are:
currently I have a red heat lamp, are ducklings on the same type of heat schedule as chicks? or is a white heat lamp better ??
brooder box suggestions, I have a a rubbermaid tote that I am using now for chicks.
pictures would be helpful or descriptions of feed and water dishes, floor cover, etc, as I've read ducklings are messy little cuties.
I've never had ducklings before, so would like to be fully prepared before they hatch.
oh, and what feed they go on, do they go on unmedicated chick feed ?
thanks in advance.
