The duckling farm. This is where I raise the ducklings until they're about 1,5 to 2 months old. Then they're transferred to the forest farm. Why the transfer? Well, food and drinks are free in the forest! And it provides the duckling farm with space for new arriving ducklings, so it's a rotation system. All-in all-out, we sanitize the duckling farm and it really makes the managing of the two farms far easier. Another feature is that the ducks in the forest can breed. I select the ones who are going to be sold and the ones who are being kept for breeding.

The forest is a natural habitat and it is possible to keep a close eye on the ducks. The newly hatched ducklings are transferred to the duckling farm to increase growth rate and keep mortality rate down.
