Miss Lydia, we thought we might have problems with his leggys, (they were very much splayed out) but to our surprise, he's getting around quite... swimmingly... *snickers* (I know not to put them in water yet)
We have a blow dryer that we put on low, and he feels that warmth and the happy eyes start going and he sits back on his butt to enjoy it. Heehee!

That is great news!! just remember until they are eating grit along next to their starter feed they have no way of grinding anything other than their starter so bugs etc shouldn't be fed.
Just in case you haven't seen it.

We have grit mixed in. 1:20 ratio. And today they both ate their very first mealworm! They can only eat the hatchlings for now, (the ones that look albino) because theyre soft. They like the squirmy feeling in their tummies though. They get super excited when they eat one.

lol that's funny they like the squirmy feelings in their tummies, Now you need to post a family pic while we wait for #4. hows it doing by the way?
glad to hear you have already offered grit, alot of folks don't know about grit so we have to mention anytime some one has new ducklings.
