None of mine like it when it is pouring down hard but I couldn't get Dolly to come inside. She was the only duck with him at the time.
 
Im after some advice please. . I recently bought 5 ducklings that are now 4 days old and one of them is much smaller then the rest, she is low on energy and is very wobbly when she walks, she wont stick her neck up at all.. the other ducklings seem totally fine. except for her. Is there something that i can do to help her, or is there something wrong with her. ?? :(

What are you feeding them? Do you supplement Niacin? Does she eat, drink & poo like the others? Please describe their living arrangements.

The stories you all tell are hilarious! Never fail to make me laugh.
Random question but does anyone else's ducks get feathers caught in their noses? Mine do all the time and I'm constantly pulling them out.

Today on our way up to feed the big animals on my gpas property I saw a giant bird with spots fly across the road and land in a tree on the other side. I thought it was a cooper's hawk since I see them up there a lot but after stopping the truck and getting out I saw the back of this big Bird that was brown with white speckled spots and it's head turns all the way around and it's eyes were black! Turns out it was a spotted owl!! I've never actually seen a wild owl before so it was amazing, it just sat there and stared at us for a while. It took off eventually and we went and fed, on the way back down I pulled up some spotted owl noises just thinking maybe it'll respond. We sat there playing then for about fifteen minutes before giving up. As we were driving away I looked back one more time and see the owl in the branch above where we had stopped all Fluffed up and wings spread, like in the "back off" body language! I never even saw it fly up!! By the time we backed up it was gone. It was truly amazing to see such a beautiful creature

What a treat to see that. I love owls. They are fascinating. I think since I've lived here in Bend for 25 years I've only seen 3. My coworker lives 20 miles east of town and sees them all the time.
 
They are eating starter crumble, fresh water is supplied frequently , she eats and drinks and poops the same as the other ducklings, they are given nutritional yeast sprinkled on there food every day.. they are sleeping indoors, in a brooder. Shes also a peking
