How to Raise Ducks From Tractor Supply

We'll teach you everything we learned while raising ducks we bought from Tractor Supply Co. In this video we'll tell you what to buy and how much it'll cost. We'll cover brooding, heat lamps, bedding, feed, supplements, and more. We'll tell you safety concerns along with tips and tricks that we picked up along the way. Best of all, you'll get to see our dog June, who ultimately became our ducks' mother. She'll quack you up.

Just randomly bought two Khaki Campbell ducks from TSC a few days ago...have had lots of chickens for awhile, so this is a new experience for us too lol. Hopefully both survive and can live long ducky lives with us!

[@FarmDad]

Awesome. Best to you.

[@creativefunstuff]

You probably won't see this comment, but an eagle and hawk will try to eat them if they get the chance, i have 2 ducks, and a hawk tried to eat them one day, he didn't take them but from that day, i was more cautious about my ducks, he came back but there ok. So just make sure there safe and watch them. Edit: my ducks were adults at the time and a hawk STILL tried to get them

[@FarmDad]

@@creativefunstuff yes, they definitely will. You cannot underestimate nature.

[@creativefunstuff]

​@FarmDad your right 👍

[@griseldaosorio9664]

How do you get them back from the lake? Dont they just run off to the wild?

[@FarmDad]

They don't have much interest in running away. They are dependent on you and scared to be away from home.

[@griseldaosorio9664]

@FarmDad nice to know, I just got some ducklings from TSC, and I'm trying to get information as much as a I can. I notice there is really not much info about backyards ducks on KZbin as there is for chickens.

[@FarmDad]

@@griseldaosorio9664 true!

[@13AHP]

Great video! Which breed of duck are they?

[@FarmDad]

Thank you! I'm not exactly sure on the breed, but I know they didn't end up being the one Tractor Supply said they were supposed to be, lol.

[@morehn]

I had the same thing, but I forgive them. They had an assorted bin and they thought one breed was Pekin, the other Rouen. They ended up being buff runner and magpie. I got what I paid for 🤷‍♂️ ​@@FarmDad

[@kendiesaludar6994]

Hi! I've watched your video about the ACV helping a cat with UTI to urinate, may I know how often should I give it to my cat? The 5ml ACV?

[@kendiesaludar6994]

Also, a few months back then, the vet prescribed him antibiotics and there's still some left. Is it not harmful if I give him the remaining antibiotics together with the ACV?

[@kendiesaludar6994]

What should I do please help

[@kendiesaludar6994]

Also he didn't eat tonight I'm so worried. He has blood under there and really can't urinate

[@kendiesaludar6994]

He's just laying and looks sad please help he looks so hurt☹️

[@FarmDad]

@@kendiesaludar6994Hello, I'm sorry your cat is having these issues. Because this is an emergency, I would give up to 3, maybe even 4 doses during the first day, perhaps every couple hours. Dilute them 50/50 with water . It may become progressively more difficult to administer them to your cat since your cat won't like it. If so, you can just put some acv on their fur to be licked off. Don't force it as you want to be certain they don't aspirate it. Good luck.

[@JimRemington]

They wont fly away?

[@FarmDad]

No sir. Many domestic breeds do not have the ability to fly and those that do don't want to.

[@aiden..7844]

How bad do they smell?

[@FarmDad]

About the same as chickens

[@TheBittersweetHomestead]

Are you sponsored by TSC?

[@FarmDad]

No

[@rhondahunnel7112]

I thought you weren't supposed to let the little ducklings swim yet because they don't have the oil and they need their mother to keep them warm

[@FarmDad]

@@rhondahunnel7112 they can swim at 5-6 weeks old.
