Ya'll, I have the cutest new little members of my family, but I feel like I'm a first time mommy all over again. I spend countless hours monitoring my little ducklings, and have possibly read every post in these forums to answer every dumb question I have.

That being said, here is a question I havent seen answered yet. My 13 day old rouen duckling is TERRIFIED of water... I'm not talking super deep pond water.... I'm talking, she was in maybe an inch of water in my sink, and was SCREAMING. She has a pekin companion who becomes frustrated when I pull her out to "rescue" her sister. The only way I can get this baby in the water is if I hold her in my palm. Then she will submerge her head and clear her nostrils. How do I resolve her phobia?
 
Thank you so much!!!! I will definitely do both, and thank you for the warm welcome! I really am hoping this all becomes "easier." As of now, I'm googling like a crazy person. I never in my life thought I would be image searching "normal duckling poop" "am I holding my duckling too much?"... and "normal sleeping positions for ducklings" lol
