When can I keep my 4 week old lonely duckling with younger ducklings?
My 4 week old duckling lost her buddy a few days ago. I went to my local feed store to get her some friends, they are much younger. When can I keep them together? She has nipped at them a few times, but has started to relax around them. Thanks! -
What kind of ducklings might these be??

What kind of ducklings might these be??
Those are the same breeds I was thinking. The black one has a yellow splotch on it's chest and the rest of him is black I am leaning towards Cayuga. Which would be great because I wanted one of them. Thanks! -

Mama heating pad HELP
We put a low watt light bulb above the same side of the heating pad. It doesn't put off much heat but it made my fiancee feel better. I checked their butts this morning and the vent was all clear but they both had a teeny tiny bit of poo around the vent. Is that considered pasty butt?? Sorry I... -
Mama heating pad HELP
I am using the mama heating pad method for my 2 two day old ducklings as another member suggested. I read somewhere not to worry too much about the temperature with a heating pad, but my thermometer is reading between 82 and 85 degrees. Mostly staying at 82 degrees. They seem content as can be... -
