Thank you all again so much!! It's wonderful to have people who care so much about these little guys Hughbert finally decided to get some rest.. His daddy is out searching farm stores now to try and find him a friend.

Awww!! He is adorable!!! Oh, you asked about young duckling care... ducks have a niacin deficiency, so if you feed chick starter they will need brewers yeast (1tsp per cup of feed) mixed in until about 10 weeks old... otherwise I would feed them either Purina Flock Raiser or any waterfowl starter feed... anything else you need to know? Just ask away!

I saw this on the Internet and it seemed like a good idea, especially for a lone chick or duckling. Feather dusters for snuggling, lol. Also, a little (safe) stuffed animal or unbreakable mirror will help him to feel less alone.

How is the little duck today?

Hello! We went on a hiking trip this weekend and had a pet sitter at our home for our goats, dogs, chickens, etc. We came home to a wonderful surprise! One of our eggs left (we thought the two were duds) hatched!! Hughbert now has a friend as well! We were so excited I can't get a pic to post from my phone, but I will try to remember to post from my computer later.
