Behind young growth it is better to go not in the early spring, and in the middle of July that ducks grew just by September. It is simpler to feed them during this period as there are already a lot of greens. It is better to take ducklings broiler, on poultry farm, they always quickly gain weight and give large carcasses.
Instruction
1. At first it is necessary to keep ducklings in the house in a big box. Instead of mom of a duck they are heated by a 3-liter can with an electric bulb inside. For the 5-7th day if there is a good sunny weather, take out them that took a walk on a grass. And on the tenth as ducklings begin to bathe in drinking bowls, it is possible to transfer to the street to the open-air cage from a small grid in which there is a small lodge for spending the night.
2. First of all, as soon as you let out them in a box, it is necessary to give to drink to each duckling from a spoon boiled water then to give abruptly cooked eggs. For the second day to add to them cottage cheese, bran, bird's compound feed, corn and oat grain (it is possible any small, except a rye). And in about 3-4 days to mix also small cut greens. To monthly age in the bourgeois to add cod-liver oil. At such feeding the ducklings grow quickly and are ill nothing. It is only necessary to be ready to the fact that from them there is always a lot of dampness.
3. It is the most favorable to feed ducklings with bourgeoises. They have to be damp (moisten them with what is near at hand: buttermilk, curdled milk, meat or fish broth), but friable - liquids pour no more than 40%. Too liquid or viscous and sticky as dough, do not approach as they hammer to ducklings noses and stick together ventricles because of what they can even die. In the bourgeois, except shredded grain and compound feed, add to a half of greens or a duckweed. Forages with boiled potatoes and the fish crushed with bones are willingly eaten. Bourgeoises give only fresh, train them before each feeding, sour cause indigestion in ducklings. For the night, they can fill cut apples, the crushed squash, fodder beet and carrot.
4. And still ducklings constantly have to have fresh water that they could rinse in it the nose (but not to bathe!). Arrange to little ducklings a drinking bowl from a low, but wide old frying pan into which on the center insert turned upside down to bank with water. For adult birds take two wide basins.
