Wood duckling found.

[HarpyHaven]

We found a wood duckling that we suspicion was ditched in a local feed store. Are wood ducks good for showing? I have no experience in showing, but would like to get my sisters into it. What do I need to know?

Go down to the ornamental thread and you’ll find those with this species.

Is it a wild wood duck @HarpyHaven ?

Yes. The hatchery the store goes through doesn't have any wood ducks. We're guessing someone found it wild and just ditched it there.

Very adorable !! But PLEASE take it to a wildlife rehabilitation IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Woodducks need the exact opposite care of a domestic duck--- I found this out a week ago of doing nearly everything WRONG.

It is also completely illegal to keep a Wood duck as they are protected under the Migratory Bird act in the United States ^^ So whoever put that duckling in there---- Shame on them.

Trust me the baby is better off in the hands of professional and liscensed handlers!

We already know that it already needs special treatment and we're calling the warden in the morning.
