Spring\u00a0is when many farmers bring home new chicks<\/a>, and a few of us are expanding our homesteads to include ducks. We added ducklings to the farm last year, and raising them is a little bit different from raising chickens. Here are a few tips to make the transition to keeping waterfowl a little bit easier.<\/p>\n

1. Provide Plenty Of Water<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a well-known adage: Ducks love water. New ducklings need water in order to swallow their food, but they also don\u2019t need too much water. Ducklings should be offered water deep enough to submerge their beaks in order to clean off excess food from the air holes in their bills. Many small ducklings prefer eating their food pre-saturated\u2014almost soupy.<\/p>\n

Ducklings, however, are not always ready for a swim right away. Without a mother duck, their downy fluff isn\u2019t warm enough or waterproof, and they can easily catch a chill. If you do allow your ducklings to swim, be ready to gently dry them and make sure their brooder is warm enough, especially if it’s early in the spring. Never allow ducklings to swim unsupervised until they\u2019ve started to grow their adult feathers.<\/p>\n

2. Say No To Perches<\/h2>\n

If you are used to raising chickens you\u2019ll probably be tempted to put little perches<\/a><\/strong> or roosts in the brooder to help keep your ducklings amused. Save yourself the trouble.\u00a0In the wild, ducks sleep in quiet, dark thickets on the ground. A bar or perch in their brooder will go largely ignored.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Be Ready For A\u00a0Mess<\/h2>\n

Ducklings are remarkably messy animals. They have no shame in dashing through their water, splashing it all around, tipping over their feed bowls and tracking droppings into their water.<\/p>\n

You can keep a brooder cleaner by limiting the goslings water, providing just a small trough for drinking and even removing their water for a few hours at night. Even with great care, you will find yourself cleaning the brooder regularly.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Have\u00a0The Right Feed<\/h2>\n

Before you bring your ducklings home, make sure you\u2019ve got the right food set up in their brooder. Ducklings prefer crumble and should not eat chick starter. Most feed stores offer options specifically formulated for baby waterfowl, and it is important to check the label to make sure that your ducklings\u2019 feed contains the nutrients they need. Most important to look for is niacin, which helps boost their growing bones. Feed without niacin can be supplemented with brewer\u2019s yeast.<\/p>\n

Ducklings will also appreciate special treats. They enjoy everything from mealworms<\/a><\/strong> and crickets to lettuce\u00a0and\u00a0beet greens.\u00a0 Always feed them fresh food\u2014never human junk food.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Handle With Care<\/h2>\n

Ducklings are bonding creatures, and if they are handled regularly, they will imprint on their caregiver. This means that your ducks can\u00a0be dedicated pets, following you around and eagerly peeping when they see you. This charming behavior often requires little\u00a0effort: just regular feeding and spending time with your\u00a0young ducks.<\/p>\n

However, it is not a good idea, for your health and the health of the ducklings, to be constantly holding them. Instead, handle them minimally, limiting holding time\u00a0to when you lift them in and out of the brooder. Bonding can easily be established by spending plenty of time with them, watching them and caring for them with limited physical contact.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Consider Fencing<\/h2>\n

If you are getting ducklings and you keep a garden, you are going to want a fence. Ducks have a voracious appetite, and while it may take a few weeks for them to find your garden plot, it will take only an hour or two for them to destroy a bed of flowers.<\/p>\n

It is also important to consider fencing if you are at all worried about predators. A good strong fence will help to keep duck\u2019s worst enemies at bay, and a run with netting over the top will also keep out birds of prey.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Get The Right Breeds<\/h2>\n

There is\u00a0a wide variety of duck breeds with\u00a0some remarkably different than\u00a0others. Before you order ducklings, do your research and find the right breed for your needs. For example, Pekin ducks<\/a> and other heavy breeds are raised primarily\u00a0for meat, Runners are excellent weeders and high energy, and medium-weight ducks can be dual-purpose for both eggs and meat.<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0Know Your Goals<\/h2>\n

If you are raising ducks for meat, understanding this from the moment you bring them home will help you not get too attached to them when they are peeping balls of fluff. In general, understanding your goals with your farm animals will help you to achieve these goals and helps you\u00a0focus\u00a0on their specific needs, whether the be the feeding of meat ducks or the nesting requirements of layers.<\/p>\n

9. \u00a0Keep Your Brooder Warm<\/h2>\n

For any baby bird, the brooder<\/a><\/strong> must be kept at the appropriate temperature. A duckling brooder<\/a><\/strong> should be between 90 to 95 degrees for the first week of life, and then come down by about 10\u00a0degrees per week until they are grown.<\/p>\n

Heating a brooder is best done with a regular light bulb or two, though you can use a special heating lamp. A heat lamp can be a fire hazard, but carefully placed it will keep the brooder nice and toasty. Keep a thermometer in the box so you can monitor just how warm it is for your ducklings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
