Jim and jbrockey:
Thanks for your input and we are looking forward to getting our pekins, rouens, mascovys and embden geese on May 27/03. Jim, any tips on raising day olds eg. how long should I keep them contained in a small area under an area of a heat lamp before I release them into the lake and supplement their feedings daily? Are mascovys good ducks to have around as well? They can fly but will stay home if fed I'm told? Any advice on raising these day olds will be a great help to a new raiser who doesn't want to have them die before they can look after themselves somewhat. Please pipe in all you knowledgeable "ducklings" and geese owners. Regards
Rowly
