Hello, I now have a six weeks old duck which is an Indian runner x pekin and unfortunately she’s the only one that hatched, we are now able to get her a friend so she isn’t lonely, what breed of duck should we get and would she be able to breed in the future or should we stop that from happening?
At what age should ducklings start to get their feathers, mine is three weeks old and he’s started getting them, he is always itching himself and a lot of baby feathers have come out. He’s looking a bit rough does he look okay?
The duckling seems to be fine he’s grown a lot and likes to run around, his beak is partly purply brown and there’s some flakey skin on his legs is that normal?
Because of lockdown I will be here all day every day for over a month and I’ve ordered a rubber duck to put in with him, should I put a teddy in as well
He seems to be alright he gets up and waddles about for a bit and he’s had a little bit of food but he seems to get tired really quickly and then he lays his head down on the ground like it’s too heavy for him to hold
URGENT!!! I assisted with the hatch because there had been no progress for over 24 hours, it’s now completely out of the shell but there was quite a lot of bleeding I don’t think it had finished absorbing everything, I removed the egg from the incubator and the chick is inside, he isn’t moving...
