Ducklings

[sophiesocks]

Hello I am new to all this so firstly hello.
I recently adopted 3 ducklings because mumma got killed by a fox, I hand reared 1 duckling many years ago.
I have no idea how old they are but one of them has a baulding area on one side, any ideas what this could be.
I'm going out my mind with worry,
They have fresh water and chick crumbs which is changed 4 times a day.

Welcome!

Aaaw, those poor sweet little orphans .. well, not really orphans I guess, they have a wonderful new mumma caring for them .. kudos!

Sorry that I too have no experience with ducks but the folks on the forum Ken gave you a link to will help you out.

Best wishes to you and your adorable little charges.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your ducks, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
