1, duck nest
You can make a duck nest with proper size in a sunny, well-drained and well-ventilated place to raise ducks. Plastic foam boxes are generally used to keep warm.
2. Temperature
The newly hatched ducklings need a temperature of 30℃, which is impossible to reach in winter, so it is best to buy an incandescent light bulb and hang it 30-50 cm above the duck nest, and put the box next to the radiator. It's better to cover the light bulb with a cloth. Ducks don't like too bright. It is best to turn on the lights all night the other day.
Step 3 feed
In order to supplement the shortage of feed in stocking period, ducks should be fed in time. Duck stocking begins at the age of 4 weeks, and the early stage is the brooding period, which can be kept in captivity and cage. The ducklings were fed 1 time in the morning and evening, and the energy was insufficient.
With the growth of ducklings, supplementary feeding can be decided according to the weeds, wild vegetables and insects they eat. During the stocking period, after returning to the shed at night, supplementary feeding will be carried out to prepare enough drinking water to meet the drinking water demand.
4. stockings
Ducks should be stocked, and in the process of stocking, ducks will feed themselves. Ducks are too stupid to peck on trees, which provides a guarantee for low-bar grazing in orchards. Apple, pear, apricot, hawthorn, persimmon, walnut and other gardens with good water and soil resources, high trunk or aging can be stocked.
5. Drink water
Of course, water should be clean, preferably warm water. Use a container about 5cm deep, not too much water. Be sure to "feed the water first, then feed it". If the water is dirty, replace it in time.
Step 6: Clean up.
After a period of time, the padding will get wet and there will be a lot of poop, so replace the padding regularly. The water basin and food basin used by ducklings should be cleaned regularly.
