Ok that's really the perfect size place for him! You need to get him a heat lamp some wood chips for bedding and meat bird crumbles! Hang the lamp art one end and put his food and water dish at the other keep his bedding dry water and feed full and he should be good!

That should do it good luck. Just don't buy medicated chick feed it will kill him

Awesome! It's weird how fast ducklings grow. I got mine when they were a few days old back at the end of February, and they now look like they are adults, fully feathered and at adult weight and size.

duck in sink his name is squeak squeak

How old is Squeak Squeak? You won't hear any quacking or honking until 4 weeks or older. The sooner he/she quacks or honks, you can usually tell that it's a girl. My pekin ducks are about 5 weeks old and fully feathered and there is one that still doesn't quack, so I'm sure he's a he. After several months, the males' feather trail will curl upwards. Females' trails stay nice and straight.

 

[jonathan85365]

I presume he is 4 weeks old but day 1

 

[jonathan85365]

I hope he isn't to big for this when full grown he needs his food and water and bed

 

[jonathan85365]

day 2 he looks the same got him a new water fish the dirty looking one is his food I mixed it with water cause he mixes himself and if premixed he makes less of a mess of his water bowl

 

[imtcurveball]

He's really cute
