We got ducks before I watched this video but I'm obsessed already. This video had a bunch of great info and I learned alot, thank you! Our homesteads have so many of the same animals, so fun. I hope yall are enjoying your trip.

[@BockBockBouquet]

Thank you so much!! Glad we can help and our trip was wonderful thank you

[@123STEP23]

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.

[@Let_me_pray4_you]

Thank you for that tip. I have 4 duckling and 1 peckit. She had a near death water experience and now she refuses to get in the water . She just take sips of water after her meal.

[@BockBockBouquet]

That’s awesome! Good luck with the new babies! ❤️ 🦆

[@loripuryear9393]

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!!

[@JB-bm3gw]

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.

I'll take a duck egg over a chicken egg anyday

[@BockBockBouquet]

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.

[@anni.danielle]

Do they taste better?

[@KyleKaiser7]

@@anni.danielleduck 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.

[@bbww3969]

Duck egg mayonnaise. So much better

[@bbww3969]

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..

[@FourGirlsFarm]

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.

[@626loveable]

Did you ever find an answer to this question?

[@doremon_16]

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.

Hi , helpful video.i am planing to grow indian runners and khaki (without males, because i do not want to have to kill them).can you tell me about the nests : what is the minimum quadrat cm they need ? 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 ?

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 🙏

[@reyesmilton9001]

How is the name of the bedding , iam using pine but is not that good

[@AmysBabies_AnimalRehabber.]

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

[@olivesaviary4757]

Very informative!

[@BockBockBouquet]

Thank you!

[@rosema1001]

Would like to see more of the duck area. How much space do they need ; do you separate males -females ; how do you keep predictors awAy?

[@BockBockBouquet]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqa3n6qdi7qMma8 Also this coop cleaning video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnPFhKdul9NqjsU

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.
