1. Water habits: There are buds between the toes of turkey ducks. They have the habit of going into the water, but their water habits are poor. Therefore, during the long-term domestication process of people, this function gradually degraded and became somewhat It's afraid of water, maybe that's why people call it a turkey duck!

2. Sociability: Fire ducks have a docile temperament, are not afraid of people, tolerate rough feeding, are good at foraging, and are highly gregarious. As long as there are suitable breeding places and conditions, they can feed and reproduce. In other aspects, they live well in groups, so turkey ducks are suitable for raising in large groups.

3. Cold tolerance: Fire duck has strong adaptability to the climatic environment and is resistant to both cold and heat. As long as the feeding conditions are good, its yield and yield will not be affected when the temperature is low in winter and spring. Gain weight. ?

4. Omnivorous: Since turkey ducks have underdeveloped sense of smell and taste, they do not have high requirements for the fragrance of feed. They can swallow larger food balls and store them in the enlarged esophagus (using fire) The shot of a duck eating a pipa), the gravel retained in the gizzard can grind food very well. Therefore, turkey ducks eat a lot at one time and have a wide range of food habits.

Construction of breeding sites

1. Brooding room: The brooding room can use some dilapidated houses. The indoors should be divided into multiple small pens with brick walls. The pens should not be too large. The height should be less than one meter. If it is too high, it will be difficult to manage. The specific size and height should be determined according to the site. A layer of wire mesh should be laid inside the pen to facilitate the cleaning work. The trough and sink are the best. It is best to choose a mobile one. Heat preservation lamps should also be installed indoors. In addition, a drainage outlet must be installed at the root of the wall to facilitate the timely removal of indoor garbage.

2. Adult duck house: It is best to choose a breeding site in a quiet environment, leeward and sunny, with high terrain. The pen is best to face north and south. The slope of the sports field is preferably 30 degrees, and the soil quality is sand. The quality is good, and if possible, it can be paved with bricks or built with cement floors. Barbed wire mesh should be laid in the rest area to strengthen hygiene and epidemic prevention and prevent bacterial infection. The water source facilities at the breeding site should be complete, and the water tank should be located in the activity area. It is best to use a movable stone trough, which can be easily cleaned and fed. In addition, various spare rooms and idle spaces can also be used for breeding, such as enclosing a forest land for breeding. Not only can the space be used, but the turd duck's excrement can also bring a lot of nutrients to the trees. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone and has the best of both worlds.
