INTRODUCTION TO KEEPING DUCKS

Hi. I was pasted along this group by a manger member (if that’s the correct term to call her) I have a Khaki Campbells rescue and have had her since September 2024 of last year. So after finding out it was illegal for rescue wildlife centers to take my duck for a more better life. I chose to keep her and continue giving her the best life possible. I was told about backyard chickens from a group member who the wildlife rescue refuge center gave me a number to. And then a manger member sent me this pages group board so I’m here to learn all I can and to get any tips, advice, ideas, feedback (respectful and useful) in consideration to help me build my duck mom knowledge. I’ll include a picture of my sweetheart her name is Miss Raphael.

well written, and fun to read. I would like to see also nutritional yeast mentioned as a great alternative to brewers yeast, and a little about housing requirements once outside, ie ventilation, predator proofing.

An informative, easy to understand article that discusses the very basics of getting ducks and how to care for them as ducklings.

Very informative!

Great article!!

This gives wonderful information to anyone who doesn't know much about the care of ducks. A must read if planning to get ducks

Great article. I’m on to researching the pet/calm demeanor duck!

I'm researching adding ducks to my "chicken math" equation. This is a great place to start. Thank you for taking the time to write this!

This is good information to have. I hadnt thought about using towels. I love your pictures too. I started out with chickens as well and decided I wanted ducklings. I thought I was prepared but you aren't kidding when you say they grow fast! They are ouside in their house and run now and are very entertaining to watch. I just love them!

I recently have fallen in love with ducks after years of owning chickens, and this was a great article for chicken people looking into getting into the world of ducks as well.

Well written and informative!

Good read with nice info. Love the bullet points on summing up.

Good read.
