70s

No heat plate.

They are. So far so good. I just can’t do the haul, it’s awful. But I did leave my garage setup in place if I really really have to.

Definitely booties the sooner the better. 2nd Nutridrench.

Due in part to my outdoor growout setup for mine- they’re using the bottom portion of an unused two story coop- and holy cats getting them back out again is terrible. My sweet ducks do not want to come to me to be easily picked up so forcing them out means being scary and awkwardly crawling in...

Trying to decide if I can take them off heat indoors yet. We’re close and the indoor setup I need to upgrade them to for space reasons is much easier without needing a cord. Typing this- they are 4 weeks old today? So yeah. Doing it.

What a good doggie

I’ve heard some of what you describe from the Swedish- an almost, hmmm was that… kinda honk/quack. Which will become a real quack, I’m certain 🥰

When I raised several rounds of runners it seemed like three weeks would be early for quacks but I did have it start then occasionally? Maybe more like 5 weeks-ish?

Anybody quacking yet? I have heard an almost quack!

I’ve decided nibble-nibble-nibble and the beak grinding means happy?

In happier news, Tail Feather tolerated a nail trim and was soothed after ☺️

That makes sense, and I’ll only do the jug now that these girls are quite big. I lost a beautiful bantam last fall to a water bucket 😭 She was full grown but somehow must have decided she couldn’t get out and died of the cold, not drowning because she was right size up 😭😭😭

I’ve only treated splayed leg in chicks, not ducklings yet, but so glad you jumped on treating right away. https://the-chicken-chick.com/spraddle-leg-in-baby-chicks-what-is-it/

Not yet, I started big but now it is small! Can I see how you cut your jug? I am so happy with waterer on a tray with pee pad this go round. It’s barely stinky.

Yesterday I wasn’t sure if they were tall enough to graduate to a take out soup container for water 🥲 And this (was) my “big” brooder.

I need to figure out more outside time soon, we got to this at the end of the day and they’re so happy! @Tookie We’re just at two weeks as of yesterday, correct? I remembered ducklings grow very fast but holy moly 😅

They’re HUGE with big flappy feet!! This sink has been easy. We keep it warm.

Ahhhh I wasn’t able to see my ducklings much yesterday. Just got to snuggle them today and they’re suddenly huge, and markedly more comfortable with me 🥰

Tail Feather and Pearl say thank you ❤️
