I’ve always been deemed the “animal person” either by blessing or curse since I work as a wildlife rehabber and domestic animal rescuer in town.
I was recently contacted by someone about a duckling with one eye and the other doesn’t seem to have much sight as all. I don’t have any ducks at the moment but have raised quite a few over the years. I have the space and equipment to care for one and a flock of 5 month old buff Orpingtons at the moment but I know mingling them probably won’t be wise until much later on (if at all). Should I work to get a buddy for him in the brooder or since he is totally blind it may not mean as much? I was thinking someone to help him navigate around the brooder would help, but is also a risk because they may just become a bully. I’ve had bad luck with ducks bullying each other, which is why I am cautious!
