Matured ones:
Are expensive to buy.
Can not be familiar with ur compound easily in case you want to rear them on Free range.

So u train them from baby.


Adult. Ducks can be familiar with the Compound just keep them well fed in a Cage in the Compound for about 2 Weeks before releasing them

Good evening all. I lost all my little ducklings to cold as a result of the water they entered in the pix above.

Just because I love to raise ducks too, I bought another set of 5 ducklings (1 week old) to replace them last week on the 17th. Nov. Lesson is learnt now.

I will upload their pix below. I will be updating the thread on their growth.


But ducklings do swim in Water with their Mother

Ok she must keep them warm afterwards

So glad you immediately bought another batch good

How much did you buy them

Please use a lantern to keep them warm this time or some Hot Charcoal in a Tin

I have all of them. I have turkey, boiler, broiler hand cockerels. I jst wish to experience ducks too.

Even one of my noilers incubate hand hatch �

You're doing well bros

Failure is part of experience in life.

Ducklings can only be allow to swim in water after they grow certain feathers otherwise they with die.
Better allow them off swimming water for 4-6 weeks

Good work well done.
