    Help! First time worry wart wants ducklings!

    Yup.. Fingers crossed! Try not to stress.. Its more than likely it wont be perfect, but hopefully you get a few babies and learn a lot. I have a group of pretty terrible forgetful mummas, so to save heartache I collect eggs every morning, and if I want babies I store the eggs until I have a good...

    Wry neck duckling, I'm scared , I need help!!

    I think build her a little nest where she can sit upright, restrict her movement until she improves - she might get better, I've seen it on this forum before. @amiga

    Help! First time worry wart wants ducklings!

    Ducks - very good mumma ducks I should say - will manage their eggs this way, giving the best of their attention to the most viable eggs. How they know which ones, I don't know, but it seems like you have a VERY good mumma there. Good luck, and I hope to see some pics of her young ones!

    I think, sadly, something happened to mum. They don't leave them until they look full grown.

    Here we are. Big Day! Varia with her pals. She is with her sister Ephinny and they used to pal around with Syanne, purebred pekin killed in the attack. The drake Abbey is actually Varia's son. She still comes in at night, but is very mobile. Stormy hanging out. She has a...

    Hmmm, I can get manuka honey for sure (its native here lol) but will that actually help it heal? I'm thinking she's a goner and I've been upset about it cos she's a daughter of one who died in the attack

    She's looking much better, and last night the little last egg was having a shake. Another bad heatwave today, going to have to be vigilant. Its hard for me to let them go too, but the reality is when we move out of Sydney we will need sources of income and I am very good at raising ducks, so...

    I will probably keep them, but I will need to do some flock shuffling because I kinda want to keep everyone.... Little tawny duck is very protective of his little bud! Will keep an eye on miss Varia and update soon.

    Tawney and yellow duck are snuggled up happily. I haven't checked last egg yet. I also don't think Varia is clearing her nares - she was starting to wheeze a bit before the face wash yesterday.

    I'll keep up with the washes and look into an over the counter thing. She does get a small bucket and I've given her ACV but she simply refuses to dunk her head. This girl of mine. Its only 2 ducklings that have hatched so far, that's just a lot of pics! One egg left. I think I lost so many due...

    Stormys great, still has a really nasty limp but she's happy to be back in the flock. Her and her mother used to get escorted everywhere by the snowy drakes, now stormy commands them! Varia still confined to hospital with time outside. Little egg is peeping but hole is no bigger. Might have to...
