Hey everyone.
I am planning to get the baby chicks and ducks this Friday. So far, I have the brooding boxes-2 boxes for each the ducklings and chicks, (so I can just pop them in a clean box then take the box and clean it), heating plates, Feeding dishes and water dispenser for the chicks. I'm not sure what to do for the ducks. I'm considering finding small cat bowls, with grippy bottoms. I also decided to line the duckling's brooder with newspaper, and layer with those rubber drawer liners.
Tuesday I plan to get everything else they will need for the first month (minus the coop and house, we're building those). What are some things you guys would recommend? I am also looking into ways to maintain the coop and house, once they are built, so I am open to suggestions there too!
Thanks in advance!
