Hi, I got my duckling (hope) at 3 days old, I’ve spent 2 hours with her everyday I give her treats and let her sleep in my lap. And at a week old I started to give her baths each day making sure she was all dry, and she seems to love it all. At 2 weeks old I thought she had imprinted on me, but I realized my duck will follow anyone in my family. although if I leave her with anyone (while I'm cleanIng up something messy she’s done :rolleyes:) she’ll cheep and cheep for me however everybody else says that they’re duckling follows just them, and whenever they walk up to they’re bucket they cheep and cheep for them and try to get out. Mine doesn’t anyone have any idea as to why mine does this? Does it affect anything that she has 3 other chicks she may have also imprinted on? I feel as if she has a relationship with me but it’s not super strong. Is it to late for her to fully imprint on me at 2 and a half weeks old?
