They are an interesting looking little duckling.

We lost the weakest duckling a few hours ago

Oh no!

 

[Miss Lydia]

I am so sorry! Hope the other two are doing well!

This was the first to hatch and a little spitfire! Thank you guys so much for your advice! I'll keep you updated on the other one. She's moving around and chirps when I'm nearby. She's even drinking and eating, but then falls right back to sleep in the water. I gave her electrolytes and someone at the farm store said to try niacin and it seems to be working!

Niacin is a great help to those little ducklings. Can also get chick grit and offer dandelion greens and peas too. I also like doing things like doing tuna fish or wet cat food.

Niacin and electrolytes are working! The little miracle duckling is keeping its eyes open, eating, drinking, and the hobble is almost all gone!

 

[Miss Lydia]

That’s what we like to hear!!
