I just got home from Orscheln's and seemed to arrive with 25 ducklings. Don't know how they slipped in the van when I wasn't looking LOL. Maybe the fact that they were reduced to $1.00 a piece helped to convince them to jump in.
Anywho, I need help in determining what types I have. Does anyone know of any good sites and also any good duck advice would be appreciated.
Thanks-
Sheila
Help determine types of ducklings
That was a great sale price!

That's what I was thinking. They were originally $3.99. They are really having fun but seem to be getting wet. I have rocks in their waterer, but they are still managing to get wet. Any suggestions???
Also I read that they can go outside at 1 week old (protected of course). Do any of you let them out that early???

Sheila I'm getting my very first ducks ever this week (around Tuesday) so I really don't have an answer for you but maybe someone will respond with more experience.
