    A single duckling brooder box?

    I tried to put them together right away. Mine attacked it. It was only two days old I had to separate them. Then they were in cages side by side for four days. The new little one stopped eating and was constantly calling for her sisters. I tried putting them together one more time and mine...

    A single duckling brooder box?

    They were not at all best friends. I gave the one single duck I bought back. She went running to her sisters and fit right back in without missing a beat. Mine remains alone.

    A single duckling brooder box?

    Wow what a wonderful outcome for your duck! I bring mine by his parents to hear them quack and have done so since day number two. I feel his little body calm a bit when he is listening to them and chirping back at them. I wished for his mom to take to him but she hasn’t yet :-( I will continue...

    A single duckling brooder box?

    So I should opt for maybe a duck under a week old to add in with my one week old duck? And should I just get one other companion or multiple? I’d hate for two or three newbies to band together and never bond with mine. :-(

    A single duckling brooder box?

    That’s an excellent idea, the dog crate. I will look into that. Also I have contacted someone with week old ducklings right now. Will they for sure get along with my duck since they’re so young? Thank you.

    A single duckling brooder box?

    Thanks for your reply. I was worried about it having social issues. I will consider getting a couple companions for it asap. I’m leaning towards a guinea pig/small animal cage, I can put a board down so it’s not walking on the metal plus shavings etc for bedding to soften the floors. The...

    Duckling hatching naturally under mom help

    Well the mom squished the egg and ants began getting to it so I removed it and have been caring for it. It shakes its head almost constantly, has a hard time standing and cannot walk. I just found out my parents feed them only chicken pellets so I’m changing the adult ducks diets and will...
