Peking ducks in particular, which are used for the pro- duction of green ducklings, stand con- finement well, are more easily brooded and are less subject to disease than chickens. On the other hand, the mar- ket for green ducks is confined almost entirely to the large cities, and the pro- spective duck raiser will do well there- fore to investigate the marketing as well as the producing possibilities of the industry. Green ducklings are marketed when from eight to twelve weeks old, at PEKING DUCKS ABOUT SEVEN WEEKS OLD IN FATTENING PEN. which time they should.weigh from four and one-half to six pounds. The duck farm should be located on light sandy soil, generally on sloping land, which can be kept sweet and clean. Good shipping facilities are necessary in order both to market the product satisfactorily and to bring in supplies. Convenient watering ar- rangements are essential, too, as ducks require a large amount of drinking wa- ter. It is also advisable to allow con- siderable yard space, and double yards ‘which may be rotated and planted to quick growing crops are useful on large farms, Simple buildings similar to hen- houses are used for breeding ducks. A shed roof house from twelve to fifteen feet deep, seven feet high in front and four feet in the rear is satisfactory. A good sized muslin curtain and one win- dow in the front of each pen makes a good front. Plenty of veptilation is es- sential, and in the south it is usually advisable to have an opening under the eaves in the rear of the house for this purpose. Plenty of litter should be used on the floor, and the ducks should be allowed to make their own nests, because they are more apt to break | Leghorn in the chicken family, is a | 00 sitter. In consequence practically their eggs if nest boxes are used. A convenient formula for estimating the size of the house or pen is to allow six feet of floor space for each duck. Mating the Flocks. Ordinarily from five to six males are allowed for a flock of thirty fe- males. About the 1st of May this number may be reduced to one male for every seven females and later in the year still further. Nelther the Peking duck, used chief- ly for the production of green ducks for market, nor the Indian Runner duck, which holds in the duck family a position somewhat similar to the all of the large farms hatch their eggs in incubators. Formerly lamp incu- bators of from 200 to 400 egg capacity were used, but in many cases these have been replaced by the larger sized incubator. Duck incubators are usual- ly kept at a slightly lower tempera- ture than those used for chickens. For the first three weeks the machine should be kept at about 102 degrees F. and for the last week at 103 degrees or slightly higher at hatching time. Itis asually advisable to supply moisture for ducks’ eggs during the last week or ten days. All eggs should be tested at least twice during incubation, preferably on the seventh and fourteenth days, and the infertile eggs removed. - Those with dead germs should also be taken out at once, as they decompose very rap- idly. The Infertile eggs make good feed for ducklings or can be used for cooking. The testing should be done in a dark room and the large end of the egg held up, so that the size of the air-cells may be seen. When held be- fore the tester an infertile egg will 100k perfectly clear, much like a fresh egg. The fertile egg, on the other hand, will show a small dark spot, known as the embryo, with a mass of little blood veins extending in all &i- rections. When the embryo is dead the blood settles away from it over the edge of the yolk, forming what is known as a blood ring. After the fourteenth day. eggs with living em- bryos are dark and partly filled up. The brooders and brood:ng systems ured for chickens give good results in rearing ducklings.
