One was having "seizures" the day before, which might be confused with just being unable to walk, but the other two weren't.

I have chickens, but my duck isn't sick, and two of the ducks that died hadn't been in contact with each other at any point since they were a day old because they missed Ducky Daycare (that's what we call when the ducks come to school once a week.) I believe it's too much of a coincidence that...

I understand when they're very young they can just die, but this was a completely odd set of circumstances. Same breed in different homes died within three days of each other, and they were all about three weeks of age, beyond that "iffy" stage of life. Even if they were "stressed" they would...

Thank you for your concern, however it's not exactly my place to tell my teacher how the ducks should be kept, and it's still technically a matter of opinion since it's not truly possible to ask an animal if it is "happy," and it's another debate if even such a term is applicable to non-humans.

As I've already said I am not here to debate about whether or not raising a duck alone is "cruel." There are way worse fates for a duckling at a feed store. Everyone who took one home was educated MONTHS in advance on the care needed to keep them healthy. This reaction is the exact reason I...

I understand that is a common debate but again this is a school project. Like you said that is probably not why they died, I doubt it's the reason any duck has ever died. The point of the experiment was to imprint on a human not another duck. I don't have control over what my teacher has decided...

I am participating in a school project where we must raise a duckling to imprint on us. My teacher has been doing it for several years and has only had one duck die in all that time, from a dog attack. This year we have had three die, all of them were pekins, the rest of the ducks were different...
