can they?

He hasn't eaten yet just sleeping. I will give them a call in the am he is so cute and tiny. I put a teddy bear in there he cuddled up with it and went to sleep. I will try to post a pic.I also put a mirror in there. The hubby said maybe we should go get another duckling so he's not alone lol. He's been Googling taking care of a baby wood duck :)
 
Aww that's super cute of him. I think wood ducks and docks like that do have a hard time getting to eat. You could keep the wood duck some people do. I think there's a thread on here about migratory and ornamental wildfowl. They would be able to help you for sure. Good thinking about the teddy bear and mirror. Here's the link to that thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...ntal-waterfowl-info-thread/1620#post_11088472. I hope the little one does great in your care and if you could I'd love to see a pic so I can drool over him and be jealous of you lol.
 
Thank you for the link very informative. I read the first 3 pages and all the wood duck parts I also posted on their asking for quick pointers. I am going to call the wild life rehabilitation place tomorrow I will probably keep him if they let me unless they have a momma there I want what's best for the little guy but so stinking cute! He is peeping now and moving around he even went swimming in his water and tipped it over lol. And walked through the food hopefully stopping for a bite :) I'm going to get some live meal worms that link says that's the best way to get them eating. And brooder same as my other two. I have pics of him and of the human baby swimming with the babies lol. But my computer is being worked on and my stupid phone won't upload them so I will try from work tomorrow. I have worked 7 days already and don't get a day off til Saturday:( boo work! How's u and the babies? Oh I got a free hot tub today!
 
First I'm gonna start off by I'm sooo jealous! I'm glad that link helped I started looking through it but got bored as I was looking for wood duck information but instead was reading about every other kind of duck out there lol. I agree on the live mealworms or even regular worms might work. Lol well if he went swimming in his water dish then it sounds like he's doing good lol. Aww that must be cute with all the babies together :) omg I would be so exhausted you poor woman. I don't know how you could do that. Please don't take this the wrong way but you remind me of my brother. Work wise anyway because he only gets 1 or maybe 2 Saturdays off a month and that's it. I couldn't imagine working like that. Babies are doing good they are getting so big. They are molting into their adult feathers so they are looking kinda rough right now. A free hot tub! How on earth does that happen? And why don't I live closer? Lol
 
Lol. I do work a lot. I get to be jealous of you soon with all your cute new babies :) I gave the babies some minnows today it was fun to watch :) hoping to get you pics soon. Ugh can't wait for a day off. Yea I was stocked when the girl said I have a free hot tub if you want it. It needs a little work but not much. I know right get the duck bus ready lol. I'm glad everyone is doing good. Happy duck mommy day!
 
Lol I guess you have a point. But in the meantime I will be the jealous one. Oh I bet. I love feeding them minnows. Only with the big pool they had a hard time so I had to hand feed them ewww. Can't wait for pics. Yes I'm deff gonna have to get the duck bus ready then sell a kidney so I can have enough gas money to get there lol. What a steal on that hot tub. Thank you happy duck mommy day to you too! Oh and also human mommy day too :)
