To take care of baby peeps as well as ducks the first thing you have to do is make sure they are warm, I use a heat lamp to make them nice and snugly, they can eat regular poultry food, but you have to grind it up to it's small enough to fit in their baby beaks, they drink normal water, just buy a feeder or just put it in a bowl, they drink with their beaks up as you can see in one of the last clips of the video (so cute!), normally chickens nd ducks shouldn't be raised together because sometimes the chickens will gang up on the ducks and the outcome is not nice :( but I have been raising my peeps and ducks to get along perfectly. Just make sure they have spaces to huddle and sleep in such as a basket with wood chips and a place for the chickens to perch. Now, just find an enclosed area! I used and extra large clear storage unit and it works perfectly! Before you buy chickens, make sure your parents agree to it (yes, i surprised me mom, but we already have chickens so we know how to properly care for them!) and make sure your housing development allows these kinds of animals to roam around! Oh, and I got my peeps and ducks at the Tractor Supply Store, because they sell them for poultry and I wanted to save them from getting eaten. Lastly, enjoy your new friends!
