Our first batch of Pekin ducklings has arrived for 2018, and they sure are cute! There isn’t much that’s cuter than a baby duck!
All baby chicks, ducklings, and poults need heat lamps, a dry, wind-free place to sleep, the proper amount of space, bedding of some sort, food, and water. It’s up to you how you create your brooder. Our brooders are located outdoors, and the ducklings have an open-air strip in the front of theirs, so that when they undoubtedly get their world wet and messy, the hardware cloth allows for spills to slip through. We learned the hard way that ducklings are far messier than chicks or poults, and our new brooder design helps them stay dry and clean!
