Ducks are low-maintenance animals that can be a great addition to any homestead. They are relatively easy to care for, and they can provide you with eggs, meat, and feathers. If you are interested in raising ducks, there are a few things you need to know in order to ensure that they stay healthy and strong.
Ducks need a clean, dry place to live. Their housing should be well-ventilated and protected from the elements. Ducks can be housed in a variety of structures, including coops, sheds, and even barns. The size of the housing will depend on the number of ducks you have. A good rule of thumb is to provide 4 square feet of space per duck.
The housing should be equipped with plenty of fresh water and food. Ducks also need a place to lay their eggs. You can provide them with nesting boxes filled with straw or hay.
