Don't Raise Ducks BEFORE Watching THIS! Everything You Need to Know
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
If you just got baby ducklings or are thinking about raising ducks, here are the things you need to know. Ducklings have higher nutritional needs than baby chicks. They require 3x the amount of Niacin than Chickens or they can develop leg deformities. We’ll go over how to have the cleanest and most efficient brooder, and how they need special waterers to clean their nostrils. How to select your duck breeds based off your needs, their housing, and drakes vs hens. How to train your hens to lay in their nest boxes and which breeds are more prone to be good broody hens at hatching ducklings. This is a crash course on everything Ducks.

Perfect Info for those considering getting ducks .. one thing I’d add .. make steps for the ducks to get into the pool and for little ones just learning either have shallow water level or put flat rocks so they can stand on so they don’t drown .. until they get enough oil onto the feathers they can drown. Also male can drown hens while breeding in the pool.

I love your video your so informative. I like the top to.
Stumbled on your video…quickly subscribed. I’ve had my pet ducks for 4 years….they make me smile everyday! I would add to your advice, please, please don’t get ducks unless you’re ready to properly care for them. They will tie you down much more than chickens. They absolutely need fresh water daily (sometimes twice a day) if you want to travel or just are very busy, ducks probably aren’t for you….but if you do have ducks, enjoy, because they are really sweet and funny….that waddle♥ and man they love to swim. Great advice and I look forward to catching up on your other videos!!

Hi. Thanks so much for your video. I have learned a lot. I am wondering what to do if the ducklings insist on eating the hemp and/or pine shavings. I panicked and removed the shavings and went back to towels, but that is not a permanent solution. They are now just over three weeks old and still eat everything they can.
We have 31 chickens and six baby ducks got them all from tractor supply they're mixed breeds but we went with straight duck feed.
We just recently adopted three muscovy hens and will be adding a drake for them very soon here so they can have a buddy and hopefully a protector. We also want to raise them for eggs, ducklings and occasionally meat. ❤

We love them! And actually end up eating mostly duck eggs tbh. We sell most our chicken eggs. We always package a few in there but some people seem to care which butt their egg comes from 😂 Duck eggs are more nutritious than chicken eggs as well, and more alkaline.

@@tocaanni5663duck eggs have a much deeper flavor profile; however, I would caution with using them for cooking and baking since most recipes call for chicken eggs. Some recipes will include a description depending on which egg you are using, which is great, but most of the ones I have seen only include chicken eggs. If you’re using them for scrambling or other meals of that nature, then this isn’t an issue, and I would recommend a duck or goose egg over a chicken egg because they are larger and, as I previously mentioned, have a deeper, rich flavor profile than chicken eggs.

It is so true, let the ducklings decide what is the right temperature for them. It's not going to always just be a blaring 90 to 98 degrees. My duckling box had one tiny corner covered over by a towel to create cover from direct light and heat..Oh no they eventually gravitated over to the direct heat lamp light /heat .They wanted that 90 plus degree Temps, but they will also seek reprieve from it just a couple feet away..Radiant red light heat is better because it's not all encompassing. It gives spotted direct heat when necessary..
yes
We use Kalimbach waterfowl starter for our ducks and geese, but still have some nutritional yeast just in case we need it.

Does it have to be covered on top ? And how high,these two varieties can nest,can the nest be 1-1,5 meters high? And also have you found a continent natural way to provide them niacin ?

Hi! Only 1 of my 4 Muscovy eggs hatched, the others very sadly died in their shells before internally piping. Now I’m left with 1 tiny baby who halfway hatched with her yolk sac unabsorbed and I had to keep her halfway in her shell for 2 days while she finished absorbing. I have read that a lone duckling will not do well, so we keep her brooder right in our living room and take turns holding her. She has a mirror, stuffed animals and cozy blankets, but I still worry she will die of depression and loneliness! Is there anything else I should be doing to keep her happy and healthy? This has never happened to me before and I’m very nervous!!!! I’d love to get your opinion and advice. Kindly, Amy

Hello thanks for watching, we wanted this video to be short and basics so if you’re new to our channel and would like to see more. We have many videos showing our different set ups. There is no one “right way” to do things. You can have your setup to what works for you. If free ranging doesn’t decide how many birds you would like to keep, and then have a large enough “run” fenced in area for them to live in. Larger stays cleaner. We free range as we do not have many predators where we live in the desert. You need to know your predators in your area to keep them safe from. Do they come only at night? If then you need to have a secured coop or run to keep them safe. Use hardware cloth instead of chicken wire as it is much stronger and can’t be broken through. Bury fencing or lay it flat on outside perimeter of you run. This is called a “predator apron”. If you have day predators like foxes, an electric perimeter fence with lowest wire at sniffing level will do wonders. We house all our poultry together in same coop and run and the ducks sleep on floor, and chickens up in the roost bar. We have a large 30ft walk in style barn coop that houses over 60 birds and we just open the door in the morning and they have 2 acres they can free range. We have kiddy pools the ducks swim in as we don’t have a pond. We do not separate our males and females, if we have a bully we put them in a time out pen temporarily and then release. Our flocks coexist very well. We have only had to move some male bully ducks out of our tiny bantam chickens area, but our free range area we have no problems with drakes as there is ample hens and space. This recent VLOG shows our different setups more kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqmI0Nmghri_k7A.html Also this coop cleaning video kzread.info/dash/bejne/anaWtdZxktGdiMY.html
My runner ducks been in incubator for 33 days no moving should I try to assist
My mom just came home with six ducklings. She has driven by tractor supply everyday for years now. It was only a matter of time. Lol
You said they need heat. I have newly born duckling and I live in Pakistan which has a hot whether now a days like 34 C at day and 27 C at night should I still put them under heat lamp. I will appreciate the guidance.
What kind are the adult black ducks?
For call duck eggs. Do you always poke a hole in the shell?
HELP NEEDED!!! Any help greatly appreciated- we have just rescued 10 duck eggs they appear to be around the 2 week mark at a guess- we have always had wild ducks living on our larger size pond (not quite a lake but bigger than a normal pond) since moving to our house in 1993 however this year the water level has been so so much higher than normal the ducks are struggling to find safe places to lay eggs- a new female had laid eggs in a very unsafe place atop tiled steps in a big heavy (immovable as it turns out) planter with high sides than would either just trap them after birth or if they got to the edge and tried to jump off onto the tiles even if it was onto the top they’d never survive the height drop- we tried everything we could think of makeshift ramps just couldn’t get them secure and into a position it’d b safe and now the mother appears to have got spooked and we haven’t seen her since yesterday morning well we didn’t want to give up on them and in have brought them inside my house overnight nearby a radiator and wrapped in a warm big furry fleece jumper - ice googled for some info and now really worried I should have left them outside alone (was very cold last night) also just read they won’t likely survive without an incubator- am I too late- any help and advice at all - Thank You 🙏

I want tye quiet duck. They have lots of those here. I want them for slug control and I love birds. Eggs is a benefit. We are making large ponds for telopia and prawns. And general land irrigation reserve. The ducks also eat the frogs, tad poles, and keep the fish population from begoming too much. The bottom of the ponds will be pumped teo acres away to flow through large aquaponic systems then doen winding streams for UV filtration and clear clean water back to the pond. I want to know the ducks as much as i can. I want happy ducks.
Do you eat your duck eggs or do you eat your ducks? Are they just pets and what do you do with your eggs if you do not eat them? Thanks.
So you still need the nutritional yeast even though you have the scratch and peck

What’s the ratio you would suggest for female ducks to one male duck in order to prevent any non-consensual chicken situations?
Are pine shavings ok for ducklings? I heard they will eat it and it can harm them. My broody chicken hatched ducklings and now they are all together in a separate coop with pine shavings, I tried changing it to wood pellets but mama chicken wasn’t having it. So I put the shavings back in fear she would abandon them.

When can I allow mama chicken introduce ducklings to our other ducks and chickens?
I did. Buy in tractor suply twice. Jeee
Number one thing to take away ducks are messy messy messy and Messy. We rescued a mallard duckling its mother had left it before it hatched and took her other ducklings and left the pond, we put it in with the chicks in our brooder and we had to clean the brooder at least two to three times a day because the duck would get in the water splashing around making a mess doing what ducks do. It's finally big enough now it's in a coop of its own in with the larger chickens. We do have the pain partitioned off where the big chickens can't get to the duck because she is still only about half grown. Here in the next month will reintroduce his former brooder mates to her. I've got several videos her on my channel of her progress.
