raising baby ducks?

Most of the time, the hatchery you are ordering your ducks from will vaccinate them for you, for a very small fee (I think mine were about 23 cents each). After these initial shots, I don't think you have to worry about any more unless they become ill.

As far as housing, ducks are not at all picky. When you first get them, you will need to have a brooder set up. I would hope that you already know about that, but you can make a nice little brooder with a kiddie pool lined with wood shavings and a heat lamp. When they no longer need the supplemental heat, you can move them to...wherever you'll be keeping them. My ducks are in a 4' x 8' pen at night and in bad weather that is constructed of exterior grade plywood with some 1/2" wire mesh venting at the top - they do need good air circulation, but it needs NOT to be drafty. During the day when the weather's nice, my ducks are in a large fenced area (the fence needs to be no higher than 4 feet IF you're getting a non-flying breed. If you get Muscovies, wild-type Mallards, or Calls they WILL fly out.) My ducks also have a small pond for their swimming pleasure. They are, after all, WATERfowl, and it would be wrong to deprive them of good swimming water.

As far as food, Purina has a line of duck foods for each stage of your ducks lives. Simply call their customer service center and they'll tell you if they have a supplier in your area.

Keep in mind that ducks are terribly messy. Their housing will need to be cleaned frequently, and since I provide mine with drinking water in their house, it's a constant battle to keep their living area dry. But if you find the routine that's right for you, keeping ducks is a joy - and I wish you (and your ducks) the best of luck!

I raised a couple of ducks too. If you notice that parents are with their young in the wild, you don't have anything to worry about there. I do not remember what I fed them but sure that the pet store can put on you the right path. I am thinking some sort of pellets.

They need lots of things. DON'T FEED THEM BREAD! It is VERY BAD for them. I also raised ducks and had a fun time with them. They take alot of care and u need to have a big setup for them. Even If they are tiny. Also If u keep them in a cage when they r little make sure the bottom is not wire or bars in any way. Cause if they walk on it it could damage their feet and they won't be able to walk at ALL.
