Hi all, Mumma duck is about to start hatching again and I am thinking about stealing a duckling from her while she isnt looking!! and placing her(hopefully her) and not a him into my brooder nursery to raise as a pet.
I really want a pet duck who will follow me around and help me in the garden.
Now since the mumma duck left her young after only a few days to fend for themselsves with her last hatching months ago , i just thought i would bring this baby up in a nice ,warm, snug environment and cuddle it all the time while watching telly etc. yes i can teach it to swim in the bath!!or sink! and Im confident that i can give it all the company she wants, but when she is grown I can put her in with the chickens to freerange.
Will my imprint last on her? or will it be a waste of time for me to try and tame her?
hope to get some advice!
Thanks
