Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

apparently that is for when she is bigger. I've not done a tiny duck before. You can look at that link I sent and it shows the duck mouth inside really well and yes, if you're are looking at her its the left. Look at the picture on that link. Go with putting it under her tongue drop by drop!

That's a good link though! It helps to understand where the air way is back there so as to avoid squirting liquid in that area

Well, she didnt stay in the sock. I tried all night putting her back in. I fed her/watered her about 3ish. Woke up to my husband sitting in the chair feeding her this morning, it was so cute. About to give her some more B (my hands are stained yellow) & E & get to work on her walker.

I am worried about her belly though since everyone has brought that up. I worry about feeding her too much if its harming her in some way. That girl can eat!!! Its so cute, she gets so excited about food that she pushes off on her feet, basically hopping over & over. She has so much personality.

I am not sure what might be going on with her belly, How does her poops look? Are they still dry looking? Having a healthy appetite to me is a good thing. Does she have access 24/7 to food and water? Only thing I would be worried about is open waterer when she might drown.

Her poops are pretty moist now. And honestly, no, I have not left any water in there. She pushes herself up & over, bends & contorts. I've just left it where I am pretty much always with her and constantly offering water, then water/food. I've seen her go face 1st and not be able to move so I'm nervous she wont be able to push her out of the water.

That's good. Till she can stay up on her legs and has control open water isn't a good thing. Glad to hear her poops are looking moist too.

If her belly is the problem and she is not digesting her yolk, then short of surgery to have it removed, there isn't anything you can do. I know how stressful this is because every year I get a couple with big bellies and I go through what you are going through. She's pooping, so that's a really good sign and it means that she might be digesting the yolk.
