Spend as much time with them , even sat next to them or sitting by their food bowl while they eat ... patience is key .. be calm and wait until they come to you ... or feed treats by hand too xxx

Is this the oil gland ... I've never seen it before and it's really big :/ he is 10 days old and a runner duck [/IMG]

Does anyone know of any treats I can feed my one week old duckling or should he just be on crumb right now? I'd love to give him something new as he wants to eat anything he sees xxx

Just wanted to let you know after such a difficult hatch & and a couple days ... Einstein the duckling looks like he's made it through the first week of his new life ... thank you so much

Thank you xx he's doing well fingers crossed ... don't think he's out of the woods yet but he can finally hold his neck up ... trying to jump and can walk without falling over ... he struggles to hold his neck up when he's sleeping (is this normal) also noticed he's gone really fluffy finally...

He broke free last night ... was worried as still looked weak ... he's trying to stand up now & has made it through the night ... I'm feeding him duck yolk (hard boiled) mixed with water & he's managing to eat this & drink this too ... He still is a lot slower than expected ... hope I'm doing...

Went to cut his cord as it's shrivelled up but when I did go to cut it is see this .. is this the cord and do I cut through this? Thank you so much

When I went to cut it is stopped as I saw this ... It seems like a cloud of blood under the surface ? Please help

HE is still attached ... he hatched fully yesterday afternoon .. the cord is slowly thinning and going brown ... I've been giving him vitamins every few hours ... he's chirping lots and desperate to move ... even though he looks weak he doesn't sound weak ... what should my next step be...

He's been trying to get off his cord for a while ... he's slowly going fluffy ... What is the best thing for me to do right now ? (Dripping him vitamins every 5 hours or so)

thank you .. it's managed to break through now and I will leave it now and hope to wake up to more progress !!
