Don't tell the other chicks, but the little mutt is my favorite! I think muttly is the cutest and is also my most friendliest
My ducks did not act stressed at all. They were eating and drinking just fine and even exploring. They are friendlier the the chicks (who mostly go and hide when I open their brooder) and they even went for a short swim today, which was fun.
I did however take Ideal's advice when I first got them and let them have their water water for 15 minutes, took it away for 15 minutes, I did that about 4 times. You are supposed to do that so they can learn how much water to drink, this is according to Ideal. I guess ducks get dehydrated easily and will drink too much water and become water logged and die.
