At what temperature can ducks survive? scope

The suitable temperature for normal growth of ducklings is: 1-3 days old, 30℃; 4-7 days old, 25℃; more than 2 weeks old, around 20℃.

The ducklings are ready to eat one day after hatching. Before eating, you need to "boil" water (drink warm water). Appropriate amount of glucose and vitamin C can be added to the drinking water. The starter feed should be half-ripened rice, which should be sprinkled on a bamboo mat and allowed to be eaten freely by the ducklings. Feed it 6 to 8 times a day.

After 4 days, switch to boiled wheat or full-price compound feed, and feed it 4-5 times a day. After 15 days, feed 3 times a day. Three days after the ducklings start eating, animal protein feed needs to be added. Chop small fish, shrimp, river mussels, crabs, earthworms, etc. and mix them with the food for feeding. In addition, the ducklings should also be supplied with an appropriate amount of green feed. The green vegetables can be chopped and mixed into the food or sprinkled directly on the bamboo mat for them to eat freely.

Biological habits of ducks:

Ducks are small in size, have short feathers, and have limited flight distance. All ducks, which mature sexually within the first year, pair up only during the breeding season, unlike swans and geese, which mature later and pair up for life. According to the unique behaviors of ducks, ducks can be divided into three main groups: tealing ducks, diving ducks and perching ducks. The mallard is a typical teal duck and the ancestor of most domestic ducks.

Perching ducks such as the Moscow duck have long claws and are the most arboreal ducks. There are the most species of diving ducks (including marine ducks). Mallards fly from the south to the north to lay eggs in spring, and then fly to the south to overwinter in autumn. After they were domesticated by humans, they lost their ability to fly. A duck's eyes have a 360-degree field of vision, allowing them to see behind them without turning their heads.
