    Raising a baby duck with an adult duck?

    Last year I bought 5 chickens and 2 ducks. About eight months later one of my ducks died (story about that in another post). I'd like to get another duck, but not 2 more. I know about imprinting, and about raising 2 ducks together. My question is, what is the best way to raise a single...
