Im purchasing just two, male, Pekin ducklings (for now) and have been reading information on them like CRAZY!! The boys hatch January 7th and will arrive January 8th or 9th! I was planning on keeping them in an a large dog cage with bedding at the bottom in the beginning. It would have a water dish, and food dish, and a heat lamp tangling above. I would probably let them waddle outside a few times a day (as long as Im outside with them and depending on the weather.)
What kind of vitamins, probiotics, feed, etc. should they have and if any? Should I put in a ratty old towel inside for something for the boys to snuggle in? I want them to become very social (realizing though, every duck is different) because we have many people that come visit the farm. Eventually we want to try them out (once older) in with our hens, but I have read that this particular set up hasnt worked out for everyone so we will try it once the boys are a little older. Any information is greatly appreciated! Till then, more google searching
! Thanks and God bless!!
