bald spot on my 5 day old duckling... :(

You would provide that only when they are starting to lay, or about too. Never give oyster shells to ducklings. Provide it in a separate dish.

Ok understood. Is the chick grit for now and before laying? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I am taking care of the properly.

Chick Grit should be provided when they are being fed treats.

one last question, sorry. Is it a good idea to buy Electrolyte and vitamin supplements for them because one of them vomited? Thanks for the help again.

You can if you want, don't know if I would continue using it after a week or so. Did the duckling shake its head and liquid ended up spilling out, or was this gasping motions?

I believe he just shook his head and spit up a little. I didn't see it completely happen. But I didn't head any gasping motion.

Did you squeeze him a little. When they are little you can squeeze out water sometimes.

No, The both love my hand on their head/neck when they are napping and they always like to cuddle. I never have a grip on then my hand just rests there. Maybe she could've pushed her head a little bit closer to my hand and it triggered something? I will definitely watch for that. It was when she and her sister were sleeping or at least resting.

Hmmm disproves that theory. Just come back if it happens again. They look great.
