Ahh thats good to hear, I'm planning on getting another duckling for this one. What if the other duckling imprints on me. Am I allowed to leave it with my older duckling for longer periods of time like 2-3 hours?

I'm wondering how much work I will have to put in as I believe it's cruel to keep one duckling, but I'm unsure if I will have to spend how much time with them and if those 2 can keep each other company for hours on end.

Hi everyone, I currently have a 2 week old duckling and many of you have suggested to get another one. I was wondering.. 1) will my 2 week old duckling get along with this one as it's coming from another flock (it will be 4 weeks old by the time the new duckling comes in) 2) Can i get that...

Hi everyone, thanks for all the tips and tricks. I decided to get another call duck for my current one right now (2 weeks old). I'm going to get the new one once it's hatched so it can imprint on me. Will my 2 week old one and this one get along? The other duckling will hatch in 2 weeks so the...

Is it possible.. for a duckling to imprint on a mirror haha! It really likes the mirror and enjoys sitting in front of it!

Ah yes! I'm debating that but I don't think I can right now :( I spent most of my day with the duckling but it likes to sit in its little corner beside the little water bucket we got it! I also hand feed it and pet it a lot hopefully to gain its trust!

Thank you so much this makes me feel much better about my duckling! :love

Yes sadly it's my only duck! Will they still react to you if you call it's name and stuff as I'm scared it's too old to even imprint on me :(

Thank you all dearly for the tips and tricks. Does bonding mean that my duck will follow me around and like me still? I just want it to be less scared of humans :(

Do ducks still follow you around if they're not imprinted on you? I want it to get more comfortable with us but I'm unsure the difference between comfortable and imprinted!

Haha thats a good point! It doesn't let me pick it up right now though so I think I will have to resort to cleaning up their poo for a while. Do you know any good ways to gain it's trust? Sometimes it gets scared and starts puffing out of it's nose to "scare" me away but I show it my hand filled...

Hi there! I have one duckling that just turned 2 weeks old today. I was wondering if it can still imprint on me as I adopted it when it was 1 and a half weeks old. It's still a bit scared of me but it lets me hand feed it now. Thank you :)

Do you think it can still imprint on me at this age? I asked the person I got the duckling from and they said it can. I'm planning on bringing it inside the house today to let it waddle around.

Hello, I recently adopted a new duckling by itself as there aren't any more other ducklings left. I feel very cruel having just one duckling and I'm scared of it getting lonely as I got him when he was 1 and a half week old. I'm extremely scared that it will get lonely but I'm not in the...
