Everything your new baby duck will need for the first 4
weeks is included in the Duckling Layette.
Grip Mat Shelf Liner
Babies can't stand on anything slippery as their little
feet slide out and they can develop splayed leg. The Grip
Mat is comfortable and safe to stand on. It has holes so
water can go through to the newspaper keeping the floor
dry and making clean-up simple. You can put a towel in
with the baby for the first few days if you like, but it
isn't necessary because they'll climb on the next item in
the layette...
A Big Soft Momma Duck!
This is a very special Mom! She is a very soft and cuddly,
Folkmanis hand puppet. You can put handwarmers inside of
her to create a warm Momma for the baby without dangerous
cords or hot lamps. The baby can snuggle up under the
wing of a warm Momma just as it would in nature.
Handwarmers!
Fourteen 18-hour handwarmers, which should be plenty to
provide warmth for about a week and a half.
Baby Harnesses!
A set of baby diaper harnesses in 4 different sizes will
make holding your duckling a lot more pleasant. They like
to sleep on you for hours and your baby will get used to
wearing a diaper.
Food and Water Bowls!
Babies love making a mess of food and water so we've
tried to make it a little easier for you. Two 4" Terra
Cotta, non-slip dishes that won't turn over. After the
first two or three days you can separate the food and
water and keep the food dry. These charming little dishes
will also come in handy later as additions to the Ducky
Diner. They'll hold oyster shell, grit or treats.
Baby Food!
A one pound bag of food to get your baby started. It is
a non-medicated turkey and game bird crumble. At 18
percent protein, it is perfect to raise the ducklings.
When they are about 4 weeks old, you can start adding
scratch which cuts the amount of protein they get.
