@Duckstruck if you have the time please look back through comments as I had previously stated what had happened with the neighbors

@samducklover , Sorry, I read what happened and immediately was angered... I went back and read.

 

[samducklover]

no need to apologize. i understand. walking in to see my baby duckies in that condition was traumatizing and infuriating. my heart still isn't okay

 

[samducklover]

is it normal for them to stretch a leg behind themselves and leave it like that for a minute or so (while they are laying down usually)

Yep they do it when they are plenty warm.

there was debate on whether the black babies were runners or cayuga's, well their wings are turning a beautiful green. is it safe to say cayuga?

I let mine bathe in shallow water until they stop diving and preening and just start sitting and doing nothing lol. That's like 30 mins? Different for every duckling I'd assume.
