Can the duckling drink water?

Yes, ducklings can start eating after hatching 1 day. Before eating, they need to "boil water" (drink warm water), and appropriate amounts of glucose and vitamin C can be added to the drinking water. The feed should be five-ripe rice, sprinkled on bamboo mats, and let the ducklings peck freely, feeding it 6~8 times a day.

After 4 days, change to boiled wheat or complete compound feed, and feed it 4-5 times a day. /kloc-feed three times a day after 0/5. Three days after the ducklings begin to eat, animal protein feed should be added, and small fish, shrimp, mussels, crabs and earthworms should be chopped and mixed with food to feed.

In addition, a proper amount of green feed should be added to the ducklings, which can be chopped and mixed with food or directly sprinkled on bamboo mats for them to eat freely.

Extended data:

Ducks belong to waterfowl, and ducklings entering the water can promote activities and increase food intake. So train it to go into the water in five days.

"Small water" (put the water in the basin or cement pool of the National People's Congress) first, the temperature should not be too low, and the depth should be enough to wet the duck's feet twice a day, and each time should not exceed 10 minute; After that, the water depth gradually increased and the time gradually extended.

When ducklings enter the "big water" (such as rivers and ponds) depends on the weather and temperature. They should go into the water every day when the sun is shining and warm, not when it rains and the temperature is low. After landing, let the ducklings comb and dry their feathers in a windless and warm place, and then rush back to the duck house.
