    Re-introducing baby duckling 2 days old.

    Re-introducing baby duckling 2 days old.

    Hi There... I know I may have started out doing the wrong thing (wish I'd have googled it first). But a mother hatched 4 eggs and left 15 behind in the duck house. After 24 hours became clear she had no intention to sit on them any longer so I took them out to incubate them just incase there...
