Unfortunately I was unaware that this little guy could jump into the kiddie pool.  :(  I wish I had checked on him just 10 mins sooner.  

One city boy husband that I'm converting to a poultry boy, 3 daughters, 3 Mallards, 2 dogs, one cat: and the bator's plugged in.  Hatching addict, BYC addict and you can find me in the forum "formerly known as hatch day is today" with my friends: Miss Lydia, Critterrun, StillMecle, GrannyCarol, JulieNKC, DuckGirl89, 70%Cocoa, Evelle and JazminesZoo.  I love my Gurlz!

I hate that feeling :/ But i do have 22 other babies i need to care for. Which i just cleaned their cage and i had them in the kitchen and they would all just huddle super close (the ones that are from just born to 4 days old) and they kept rotating in a circle going no where :) I love watching them.

My little feathery, webbed feet, water proof, billed babies are everything to me.

I know exactly how you are feeling, I looked everywhere for the chick except the water bucket when that finally dawned on me it was too late.  These things happen and mamas bounce back and contniue to take care of the ones left whether human or ducks or chickens. We just dwell on it longer.
