Diapering ducks, any ideas?
I'm not talking about all the time or anything. They will mainly be outside... I was just wondering about what's the best way to do it in case I wanted to let them come in the house for a bit later. Like come in for a little visit inside occasionally. I'd rather do something like that than... -

We just used a small pan like you can soak your feet in. They loved it! They were splashing around like crazy and just having a grand time. Nny (pronounced "Knee"; short for Johnny) is the darker one. It's the energetic one that likes to cause trouble. We're pretty sure it's a mallard, and... -

Awww. I'm sorry to hear that. That's so sad. I wish the best to your future goslings! With our ducklings, we'll probably just use a little water in the bathtub, or even just get a little pan like you can soak your feet in. We will definitely be closely supervising them, though. And taking... -
Diapering ducks, any ideas?
I was just wondering: What is the best way to diaper a duck? I'm not planning on actually diapering them until my ducklings are a little older, but I was just wondering what's the most effective way besides buying a harness right off the bat? I was reading on liveducks.com and it said you can... -

Swimming sounds like a good adventure for tomorrow. I've been keeping a little scrapbook of all the different little things they get to do, so we have a nice little record of everything and a reference to go back to. I'm calling it "The Adventures of Nny and Squee", which are their names of... -

I thought they were supposed to be a little older before they actually start swimming, so I haven't let them do that yet. Maybe soon though. They do love their water bowl. The duckling seems to be doing a little bit better today after we replaced the waterbowl with a bigger one. It's also... -

I replaced the water bowl with a bit deeper one, but I'm not sure that it helped because the duckling seems to not want to stick its head in... When it drinks it just takes tiny drinks and doesn't stick its head in like the other one does. I don't know why it does that, but after watching them... -

We thought it might be something like that, with choking a little bit. It seems to like to eat a lot of food at one time before getting something to drink, and the other one eats a little then runs to the water bowl right away. We've been feeding them some simple starter food, nothing... -

My boyfriend and I got two ducklings from a local store. They are easter ducklings that they'd just gotten in that morning. I'm unsure what breed they are, but do know for sure that they are very young. One of them seems to be a bit older than the other, and we seem to be having a problem with...
