PLANTING HARDWOOD SEEDLINGS ON FARM States Department of Agriculture.) After the ducklings have been confined to the incubator for 2i to 36 hours after hatching, remove them to the brooder and give them their first feed. The brooder should be operated at a temperature of about 05 degrees Fahrenheit at first and gradually reduced to 80 or 85 degrees within a week or 10 days, spy poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. The temperature may be reduced quite rapidly, depending on the season of the year. Keep the ducklings comfortable. When uncomfortable they will crowd together and try to get nearer the heat, but If comfortable they will spread out under the hover. Confine Ducklings at First. The ducklings should be confined around the hover at first until they have learned to return to the source of the heat. In the winter green ducklings usually require heat until they are marketed, but later in the season artificial heat may. be removed after two to four weeks. Cool brooder houses without any heat, or with only a few pipes on the rear walls of the building, are used oarly in the spring for the ducklings after they are 4 to 6 weeks old. The brooders and brooding systems used for chickens give good results In rearing ducklings. pipe systems have probably bevn used nore extensively by commercial duck growers. Ducklings do not require '.s high e temperatures as cVckens, and hovers ore generally used over the pipes. Use Individual Brooders. Individual brooders or hovers, holding from 25 to 100 ducklings, and coal, brooders gasoline or distillate with a capacity varying from '200 to 500 may also be used successfully In ation.
