Baby Care
Your worst nightmare asked:


I would really like to know how to take care of a baby duck, Can you train them? What do you keep them in? How do you keep them out of their food and drinking water?

    Well you sometimes can train them. You can keep them in a bath tub. You can hold them and make it eat try to.

    For the type of outside time keeping them out of the dish im including link for the actual care of milk.
    The beak and adults get little bit mean if they are indoors but not until they are couple weeks old bread should be kept as once.

    Ducks are great pets. They are hard to keep out of their water because that is a natural instinct for them and so they are needing to always be in and or near water. We bought a kids little swimming pool for them to use when they are small. They go to the ponds now that they are grown. When they are small they can be in the water for short periods of time, their mother has natural oils to help repel the water and so they have some but not the mother’s to help repel the water so they will get wet and die if they are exposed for too long of a time. They are trainable depending on how much time you can spend with them. Patience is the key. Until they have their feathers they need to stay in a box of some type with a heat lamp. They have to stay really warm @ 100 degrees and when they get their feathers they can be put outside in a cage or loose if you live out of town. They have to be put up at dusk so they don’t get eaten! Even neighborhood dogs make packs at night and go scouting for something to get into, so a duck would not only be fun for them but also tasty!! If you feed them in the evening at about dusk everyday in their pen they will meet you there and it won’t be any trouble to put them up in the evenings.
