Ducklings

[AladdinJasmineDucklings]

Hello, I just had 7 ducklings hatch today (1 more going to hatch soon), all by the parents. When feeding them (have all the food and the nutrition) do I need to feed them in the coop with ramp, outside in the run (where the parents eat & drink), or both? I have taken care of the parents from 3 weeks old, they just turned 2, but I haven't had parent raised babies.

With tiny ones I put baby safe water and feed... everywhere!!

Watch them and make sure that the ducklings can get into and out of the coop.

Also, make sure all water is baby safe.

Newly hatched ducklings get tired fast, and so it is safest to not have any swimming water until they are a week old.

Thank you! Their pool is out of the coop and I did put small feeder & water in the coop & out, just in case mom does take them out. Luckily my husband works from home and I am home right now recovering from ankle surgery so we can keep a close eye on them all day long, and of course my kids are also out of school for the summer. Thank you so much for the advice. I'm excited for this new adventure. I grew up on a farm (goats, sheet, turkeys, rabbits, chickens and the biggest thing we were into was hogs) and I was in 4-H but that was all years ago lol but I have a mini zoo with dogs, cats, lot of pet birds, turtles, hamster and of course my ducks. Any advice is appreciated!

Ducklings are adorable, and parent raised are even better! (No mess in the house)
