ERGENT! Will my ducky be ok?

[Oddyse]

Hey guys! I just picked up my new baby ducky and underneath her, on her belly, is a little lump, it looks like something coming out of her. Its only small but its got me really worried! Does anyone know what this is? I cant get a good photo because my camera is rubbish! Please help!

Could it be her belly button? Sometimes they will scab a little before they heal.

How old is she? Sometimes for a day or so after they hatch, where the umbilicus was attached, they will have a little bump on their bellies. Once the yolk is completely absorbed, the bump will disappear.

She is 3 days old now. I was going to say it looks like an "outy" belly button!

I would say she is OK, just keep an eye on her. Sounds like a normal baby duckling bump.

Aw that is great news! I was so worried! She/he has such a personality! I love she/he soooooo much! Thank you guys

Ducks sure work their way into your heart quickly, don't they?
Keep us posted if you see anything else come up with her.

They sure do! I fell in love from the moment her/his egg moved!
