Brooding

Brooding is very important with all poultry. Ducklings grow quicker than chicks do, and you need to be prepared for this in your duckling brooder. Duck Eggs Daily shares tips for proper brooder setup including a draft free brooder box, proper bedding, and proper placement of their feeders and waterers. You can even use a spare bathroom tub for brooding your ducklings! Following proper brooder setup, will help to ensure your ducklings are off to a healthy start! Included charts are a quick reference for brooder temperature, supplies needed for your ducks, feed requirements, and more!

After your ducklings have grown to 7-9 weeks of age, it is time to transition your ducklings to living in their outdoor coop. Duck Eggs Daily shares steps for feeding your ducks, coop setup and predator control, duck pools, seasonal needs, first aid, and creating a routine for your flock. Do you have chickens in your coop? Lisa shares tips for coops with both chickens and ducks. Learn how to ensure your ducks are getting the proper nutrition as they grow, and lay eggs. There are many herbs and treats your ducks will enjoy, and this book helps you choose what best to offer your ducks. Why is your duck standing on one leg? Is this normal? You will learn all the different types of duck behavior and why.
