@@BlueHuesStudios Haha, this was three years ago and I barely remember it, but that's pretty clearly a white chinese gosling. You can see the same gosling with ducklings at 1:34. Pretty clearly not a duckling.
I am also an animal lover and have any animals as well. Although I dont have as many as you lol. I love how you care for your animals... you have helped inspire me to start my own youtube channel and sharing how I care for my animals on a daily basis. Love your videos. Keep up the good work
Niacin is also important for their bill development! (And I keep my ducks water clean. I just rinse it and refill it everytime I walk by. Keep a bucket for dirty water if you need a place to dump it and a bucket of of clean water to fill
Thank you for the information. Today when I was dropping my baby at camp, I found a duckling on my driveway. I went around the neighborhood looking for the mom I also drove to one of our closest lakes and I couldn’t find any ducks at all. I did see a bird flying like circling around the duckling and I’m guessing that maybe this bird took the duckling away from his mom? I’m not quite sure but now I’m trying to figure out what to feed it.
Purchasing chicks, ducks, or goslings in the summer is good for easier care. I personally always buy my birds in early to mid spring because they’ll be full grown adults by next winter. Hens can also be mature and productive in late fall. If you buy chicks in the summer, you will not have eggs before the next spring meaning that you’ll be waiting almost an entire year before you get production. Hens can mature at 5 to 6 months so it’s not a bad idea to time your order so you can get eggs in the same year. I’ve raised three or four clutches of chicks and they do fine in cooler weather as long as their heating is adequate. I raised one batch of chicks last year when temperatures where in the 40s and they’re all grown and laying now. It is stressful for the person keeping them but the chicks don’t seem to care
I rescued a wild gosling who was given to paws...and ended up with 3 store bought goslings....im having issues with if I should be letting them eat grass and grit. They are about a week and 2 days. I have the brooder in my garage and they will go to a farm when they feather.
about the heat lamps- Yes they’re dangerous. In addition I always wondered how they can sleep with his bright lights on them and I always felt bad for those little ducklings. I have mine sitting by my heater and also got it a heat mat that they make beds and it stays at about 103 he doesn’t really feel hot when you touch it but if you leave your hand it for a while it starts to warm up a little and it’s perfect I just put some towels on top and change the tablet daily. As for the mess I have a crate kind of like a guinea pig crate where you can pull the tray out from the bottom to change the shavings but I use the doggie pee padsBecause they are just easier and not as messy and I have a Tupperware lid underneath it food and water so it doesn’t drop all down into the tray and then I have a rubber bathmat over the rest that has holes through it but it’s softer on his feet and walking on wires. I also stole aBig chunk of grass in my apartment complexAnd put it in a mixing bowl with some dirt underneath and he has a little patch of grass and a little place to swim in his crate he’s a pretty happy and spoiled little duckling
Thanks for the video! My question: How long you would feed a gosling the chick starter plus brewers yeast combo? And then what would you feed them after this timeframe, alongside grass?
So should I feed my ducklings worms? I did it once and they loved it so much but since they are a source of protein I'm wondering if I should stop giving them fresh worms
Can chicks eat brewers yeast safely? And are there any grasses that are harmful to ducklings? I have tgis grass that is called fox tail i think and its harmful to dogs/cats with their fur cuz it digs its way in. Maybe when they get their big feathers it wouldn't be harmful? Can ducklings eat veggies as day old babies?
You need niacin, just give them access to fresh grass weeds and greens and they’ll get plenty and enough of it. If you aren’t over feeding them with commercial feed.
What feed do you recommend buying for the ducks/geese? We just rescued a few baby geese and one just hatched. I’ve been trying to find food for them as quick as we can
I’ve joined a couple of backyard duck groups on Facebook. It is upsetting and scary as to how people just buy ducks and they don’t have a clue about what they’re doing and they just do whatever they want, it’s really sad.
Its sad when adults get animals for their children just to play with , and End up with a dead animal , through miss handling and not knowing how to feed them properly , thank you for your kind channal
@@HappyTailsAnimals well where I live, we have complete lockdown due to COVID and it's impossible to come buy any pet supplies atm. So had to go with something after all. I shall stop it, but any other green diet that they can feed on? For time being?
At how many weeks can I move my ducks outside. And how do I know if they feathered out yet? I bought two ducks from tractor supply and they really couldn’t tell me much nor could they tell me how old they were
I would not take advice from someone at a pet store or feed store. The only issue is that your goose might get cold. Not a problem as I mentioned in the video the day time temp is over 100
