Raising and caring for ducklings

[aurora14]

Metzer farms is in California. They have a website. Minimum order is 2 ducklings, and they charge a min price of $39 no matter how few you buy. They will sex them for you, so you can buy just females.

Looked on the package and can't find it in the ingredients?

Look for Vitamin B3 does is say that? It's the same thing.

I wouldn't mind getting a second one..just have to get approval from my partner and to actually find one this time of year. Until then, ill have to find a stuffed ducky and put in a small mirror. I have already figured out the messy part in just the 24 hours ive had him! I have plenty of extra fleece blankets for bedding, is that okay for him? And im not living in a permanent place as of right now, but im looking into a more permanent place and considering an outside area. I will look up ways for predator protection when that time comes closer. Ive noticed that wen he poops, he still has a lot on him ...is that normal? and shud I wipe it off or let him clean himself?

Let me see what you are talking about?

slow pokers can for quite a while? why four days? why didn't you lock them down three days ago?
