We saved a baby duck today (at least I consider it saving lol). We were at a creek and a mom and a child came down. Dropped it in the water and left. I knew that it didn't stand a chance there alone! It didn't even move from the spot she dropped him in the water. Then some other older boys there tried to throw rocks at it! So we brought it home with us. (we have chickens and live on a ranch with a pond, so eventually it can transition there) It hasn't left my son's side since we got it home. I don't know how to post a pic but it looks possibly a month old. It is a chocolate brown with a little yellow on the tip of its wings. I read that I can feed it the chick starter feed. Our chicks are about the same age as the duckling looks. Can I get them used to each other somehow? Thanks!!
