How do you look after a duck?

Answer 1

You need to feed it baby duck food, fresh water and put a 25w light bulb in its cage or pen for warmth at night. Keep the cage and water clean. Every few days you can put a big pan of water in for it to swim in until it looses its downey feathers. Then you can leave the pan all the time for it to swim in.

Answer 2

I recently adopted three baby ducklings and there are a list of items that you will need. First you need a place to keep them. I live on a farm so I keep mine in the barn in an enclosed area. You will also need a heating light, but make sure to keep it away from wooden surfaces or you may have a fire. You will need starter food, which you should be able to get in stores, and also a water container for them to drink out of (try to keep it as clean as possible). The heat light should be at one end of their living area, and the water should be at the opposite end, so that they have a wet area and a dry area. The last thing you will need is some type of bedding. Newspaper is not ideal because they like to peck at it, and sometimes may eat small bits. I learned that many duck owners use horse bedding that is in the form of round pellets that expand when they are wet. These cost about five dollars for a large bag. This type of bedding is very convenient for the amount of poop they produce, and is reasonably priced.

There is a book called "Ducks" by Cherie Langlois, which answers almost every question you may have about raising ducks.

Answer 3

Ducks will pretty much look after themselves. They need a safe shelter and bedding (straw) for nighttime and good nutritious food. A pond for paddling about and fresh water to drink. Ducks are social and need company even if it just a few chickens.

Answer 4

To look after a duck, provide a suitable living environment with access to water for swimming and drinking, feed them a balanced diet of duck feed supplemented with vegetables and grains, ensure they have regular veterinary check-ups, and keep their living area clean and well-maintained to prevent illness. Ducks also need social interaction and companionship, so consider having at least two ducks to keep each other company.

first you have to make the duck warm and cozy like get a little box and put a toilet paper all over in the box and lay the baby duck egg in the box and put the pillow on top of it.

They like to have a place that is safe. They also like to have a pond of some place to swim and get pleanty of water. They like it when you feed them some corn.
