I'm about to raise my first chicks and ducks..
2 chicks and 2 ducks just like pets...
One Rhode Island Red, One Aracauna(?)
Two Peking ducks..
Couple of questions...
1) can i use an ordinary light bulb as the heat source?
2) Can I use hay as the flooring?
3) Can I use a big cardboard box for the shelter?
4) Can I raise two chicks and two ducks together?(I was informed that they should not but I would like them to...It would be a nice sight
5) What should I feed them? (I have no feeding or drinking equipments..just dishes) I just dont get the 22% protein or 16% protein or whatever...
It's a lot of questions but I would really appreciate if you guys could answer me...thank you...
