duckling/duck advice please

Post by mrs boodles »

Daughter has 4 ducklings, they are great, but she would like some advice on what type of house they need (they are in the old tackroom which is part of house for sleeping in and she has made them a run in garden). She would also like to know when she can change them to adult food, is it mixed corn they go onto. they are 9/10 weeks old at moment. If they have scraps what type should they have. Thee are definitely 2 indian runners and 2 khaki campbells.

Any advice much appreciated.

My ducks which I hatched went onto chicken layers pellets at 14 weeks they have mixed corn in the afternoon. They go mad for lettuce and cucumber. They live in a wooden house low to the ground with no perches or nest box.
