Starting the baby ducklings and goslings is not difficult. For smaller numbers all you need is a large cardboard box, some shavings or straw, a heat lamp, a feeder and a waterier. As they grow, they will need more space and less heat. By five or six weeks they can probably be outside all the time in good weather. A growing instruction sheet will be sent with your order.
Many people dream of having a swimming pond for their ducks and geese.
There are several things to consider, however, before starting to dig your pond. The first thing to consider is how you will clean your pond. This can be done from well water or naturally flowing water. The maximum number of ducks is 100 per acre of water. Excessive numbers of ducks rapidly pollute the water and the edges are quickly destroyed from their dabbling.
