A golden sea of downy ducklings floods the brooding floor, their soft yellow plumage creating a living carpet across wood shavings beneath industrial red feeding mechanisms. Hundreds of day-old ducklings huddle closely, their tiny beaks and bright eyes representing the early stages of intensive poultry production in rural New South Wales. Precision agricultural equipment - suspended feeders with distinctive red caps - frame the scene, ensuring uniform access to nutrition for this tightly managed flock. The uniform coloration and dense clustering reveal the carefully controlled environment of modern commercial duck farming, where every square centimetre is optimized for efficient growth and development. Warm lighting bathes the young birds, highlighting their delicate feathering and suggesting the carefully regulated temperature essential for their survival and rapid maturation. The Cal Mabin watermark subtly indicates the professional documentation of this critical agricultural process, capturing the intersection of biological life and industrial agricultural systems.
