4 week old ducks. Feathers coming in fast. 2 Pekins, 3 blue Swedish
SO everyone has their breaking point with the brooder from what I’ve read.
They are rejecting the heat lamp, as the garage is 70 at night, and I pulled the cardboard surround for ventilation. This morning there was projectile poop all over the garage floor. Its a nice home, and hubby wasnt pleased.LOL.
Its supposed to be in the 80s later this week, with lows in the mid-60s. Their run is set up, and they are now spending the day in there. I have to transport them via a box, as its a pretty good walk with lots of turns to get under the deck. That system is getting too heavy and I’ve yet been brave enough to try to herd them in the yard...and my border collie is waaaaay to interested in helping to get that to end well.
Is it really too soon to stick them out there? if it got cooler, or a gloomy mountain rainy damp day, I’d bring them back into the garage. Its pretty nice down there.
Im not a quitter.lol. I can tough it out, but I’d prefer them not pooping up garage. I was planning on two more weeks, but now.eeesh. End of this week would be awesome.
