Im so excited, we will call this one" Lucky ":fl:barnie:wee
 
I have two ducklings that hatched a week ago. I received the eggs from a farmer and placed them under my Mallard cross. She looses interest once the chicks are hatched. Only one successfully hatched. One died in the egg and the other almost did not make it. He pipped and then no real progress from there. I managed to save him. He is a cutie, eats well but has not grown much. I was wondering if he is just weak or if has some sort of abnormality. I have attatched a photo of the two.

Hi and welcome again to BYC :frow

She does look small, but if she's eating and drinking she may catch up. What kind of feed are you using?
