    All but one of my flock of ducklings started scratching, siezed and then passed away and I'm not sure WHYY!?

    Came home from work, changed out thier water. Everyone was fine. I had 10 ducklings just brought home 2 days ago. Sat down next to the cage with my laptop to finish up some work and noticed the behavior change over about 20 minutes. Started with scratching, so I googled fleas on ducklings...

    New Babies! Want to guess the colours?

    I got my new ducklings! And they are absolutely GORGEOUS! I also have no idea what colours or patterns they'll be. But I wanted to share, as I am absolutely blown away by them. Pardon the slightly out-of-focus shots of some, but these guys were not socialized and did not like being handled...

    Good coops??

    So we'll be getting some ducklings and chicks soon, and we were thinking about making a coop in these rooms, does it seem okay? The rooms are in an old shed, we will ofcourse empty out everything and put in what they need and clean it, it looks dirtier on camera rather than what it actually is...

    Ducklings

    Would it be safe for my ducklings to sleep in dog/cat beds? (new, not used) and have stuff like blankets and stuffed animals around their coop? I will have straw, hay and normal bedding underneath and then the beds ontop, is that okay for them?

    Ducklings afraid of Brinsea EcoGlow

    Hi all, I have 5 Rouen ducklings, 10 days old. I bought a Brinsea EcoGlow and just put it in their brooder, and they fled in fear, chirping loudly. They seem very afraid of it. Has anyone had this experience? Hoping they get used to it and go under it. Thanks!

    Brinsea EcoGlow Safe for Duckling Brooder?

    Hi there, I have 5 Rouen ducklings, a little over a week old. I have been gradually adjusting the heat lamp to manage the temperature but read that between 7-14 days to switch to another heat source so the ducklings can get used to lower light. I found the Brinsea EcoGlow which came highly...
