Hey, I've been searching the web for a place I could chit-chat with other duck owners, and maybe get some help with some questions I should possibly have.
Anyways, Monday I plan on buying myself two Pekin ducks, who I'm assuming based on the information given to me were born February 27th, and are now a week and three days old (will be a week/five on Monday). I have my stuff pretty much set up. I borrowed an aquarium from my friend, laid down four old, soft-from-wear shirts as bedding, snagged two heat lamps and two bulbs for the little buggers, and also cut off the top of a Girl Scouts Cookie box to hold the food.
All I have to do is set up a water dish, which I will see if my Grandma will let me have a tableware container that she wont be needing. My dad and I will be turning this Dog Kennel he has behind is garage (looks more like a chicken coop to me) into a Duck House for the little guys for when they get older and we have to put them away at night.
I live in Roseville, Michigan, and the only real threat I can see for the ducks would be a stray dog who somehow manages to get into the yard and stray cats. But during the day they would have free roam over the backyard, with a baby pool Dad intends on buying, plus we're setting up a Garden so they can snack on that.
I'll put up some pictures when I get them
