    Can a chicken be a good companion for a duck?

    Some raccoons got in our coop and we lost three of our four ducks and a chicken. We are all traumatized but we still have one chicken and one duck. The duck is very upset and quacking a lot when I leave her. She also follows the chicken around. Do you think she needs another duck companion...

    Lethargic Duckling

    Thank you. It’s tough because we incubated and hatched these ducklings so it was devastating. I’ll take your advice. Thank you!

    Lethargic Duckling

    Thanks for all the advice. Sadly she passed away. For the other two ducklings is it safe to keep the offering of grit next to the feeder? They help themselves to it but I’m worried they are eating to much. Is it better to mix it in their feed? After losing one I would hate to do something...

    Iceberg lettuce. The other duckling seem un phased and they had some. I put out some grit this morning and the other two are eating it. I’ll attach pictures of the feed and supplements I’ve been giving.

    Lethargic Duckling

    My ducklings are seven days old and all three have been very healthy and active but today one of them stopped eating and drinking. All she does is sleep. I fed her lettuce as a treat yesterday. Could this cause an issue? She’s the black one in the picture. Any advice is truly appreciated.

    Help!!!! Yolk sac issues

    She hatched on day 28 so she wasn’t early. She popped right out of the shell. There wasn’t a struggle. She seems very strong. Here’s a picture from today. Seems to be shrinking.

    Help!!!! Yolk sac issues

    One of my newly hatch ducklings about (24 hours old) has a yolk sac attached and another duckling pulled on it. I’ve separated them but now the yolk sac duckling looks agitated and is trying to reach its sac. What can I do to help it?
