***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

We had ducklings hatched out by a broody bantam under a bush in the garden when I was a kid, she managed to cover 8 duck eggs and hatch them all, they soon outgrew her but she was always their mom

My parents had exactly that mix of ducks - plus a few Indian Runners - so you are bringing back happy memories for me! Harley, their Harlequin drake, lived to 13 years in age! They then got Call ducks - like miniature Pekins ... which were the sweetest little girls ever! They only had to hear my voice when I visited and they'd come running - they knew I'd help them search for slugs and snails in the garden they were only allowed in under close supervision! I swear all the ducks used to belch hard before they slept the night of the slug hunt, as they were so full!

@kathleenconte3360 3 года назад
Around apple trees the ducks pick up the coddling moths before they can do damage to apples. Ducks are very good foregers for other pests too. If you have a apple orchard less worms in fruit with ducks. Some pesticides are not good and is better to use ducks instead of spraying

NH had a state school that raised most of their own food and I think many of the clients worked the farm while living there. Rumor has it that people were thinking it was "mean to make those poor people work like that!". I was thinking that I'd rather be doing work and feeling worthwhile rather thanliving in a building doing who knows what to pass the time. I think it finally shut down - probably a land grab by someone managing the town....

That's a great idea for the waterer! I bet you could place a strip of tape across the holes, inside and out, to make the holes smaller temporarily. But I can also see the benefit in having multiple sizes on hand if you're planning to raise more ducklings in the future.

You don't have to make a new watering bin/tub thing. Just secure popsicle sticks partially over the holes. When the ducks get bigger, you can remove the sticks to accommodate their growing size. Also, if you cut an access port in the top, you can refill it without having to remove the lid.
@FarmerC.J.
@FarmerC.J. 3 года назад
Great setup! Also, they need b vitamins added to their water or brewers yeast which has B vitamins. It keeps their legs from becoming deformed. I also use an extra large plastic dog dish flipped upside down for their waterer. The underside lip contains the water. I love your idea for a waterers and will try that , too. God bless!🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

We have a rescue goose with angel wing on both wings. She can spread her wings, but they don’t fold flat. The game bird feed has higher niacin level than the 18% chick starter. If you add niacin (brewer’s yeast) to the feed, they do fine on the chick starter, and you don’t risk angel wing. That’s what we use and our ducks are happy and healthy and able to walk. Some people might ask why not give the ducks a nipple waterer. The bbrrrbbbrrrbbbrrr of the ducklings is how they wash out their nostrils. If they don’t have a way to wash out their nose, they get sick fast. Your ducklings look fantastic! I look forward to watching them grow!

Ducklings are adorable. It's awesome you guys are adding more ducks to your homestead. Like you, we started in the city. We lived near a pond. The city had torn out all the vegetation around the pond so the mama ducks would come up in the neighborhood to nest. Our flower beds were filled with nests every year. We were excited to learn more about them and that is when the homesteading bug bit us. Over a period of time we became known as the "duck house". When a duckling got separated from its mom after a storm or something, people would ring our doorbell and drop them off. We built a coop in the back yard and would raise them and keep them safe until they were old enough to take down to the pond. The last two we raised didn't want to leave - a male pekin and a female cayuga. She went broody so we let her nest. Eighteen ducklings later we knew it was time to put that for sale sign out and find some property. 😂 We also had four muscovies that had taken up residence in our back yard. We've been here just under a year and haven't looked back. Our muscovy population is now at 26 and counting and we still have our Pekin/Cayuga family. We've added some guineas and chickens. Looking to add some turkeys and geese this next year. Thanks to your series on rabbits we are also adding them to the homestead soon as well. May God continue to bless your ever growing homestead! We love your videos.

We have just used 16 percent feed along with Brewer's Yeast added in from birth. They did great. The Brewer's Yeast is expensive, but assures their health.

Apparently, according to many youtubers who do Kratky hydroponics, if you run the drill in reverse when cutting the hole the edges are smoother and you don’t need to clean them up. Love the waterer. Great idea!

They can also drown if their oil glands are not working yet. They are too cute ! Little yacky doodles. What a thrill to have all these baby chicks & ducklings. Great job splaining ! tms poet Ohio

My niece bought 2 white Pekin ducks this year one for her and one for her daughter. They were too messy so she brought them to me to raise on the farm. I was so excited I have wanted ducks for years and my husband said no they were too messy. He couldn't say no to a gift though LOL I just love them they are so cute.

Love your duckling reenactment! My kids desperately want ducklings but I keep telling them they are too messy. 🙃 You all always have me rethinking!! Hmmm ... they also want a goose but oh my!

Great idea on the waters and pans to keep feed and water separate from shavings. Thank You!

Wild mama ducks will actually groom feather oil onto their chicks, that way they float!

You can tell drakes from ducks even at an earlier stage than the curly tail on the drake's back. The drakes make a soft, raspy noise, whereas the ducks (the females, no wonder!) make the loud quaking noises.

@@lc9009, are you a drake or a duck? That might explain your response.
