HELP! I assisted a duckling before internal pipping!

By the way how do we quote? I press the quote button it just said quote +1 but I don't know what to do next to choose a specific sentence.

I usually click "reply" and it quotes the whole post in the box where I can type a reply.

I click inside the quoted area to delete parts of it, leaving just the part I want quoted. Or I hit enter a few times to add some space, and it splits itself into several quotes, so I can respond to different pieces separately.

I click outside the quoted part so I can type my answer there.

I am doing this on a desktop computer, typing with a keyboard. I know some people use a cell phone, or use voice-recognition and speak their responses, or various other ways of interacting with the site. They may have to do things differently than I do.

I added this line to show that I can misquote you and lie, and if someone didn't check what you said, they will never know.

Nice. Thanks for teaching me. It worked! I wondee what the quote button does though.

 

[Hamudazahabi]

I never said this line. It's all Fake. Trust me I never said this.

You see how misquoting works

Yes, that is definitely possible

I think the quote button copies the thing you want to quote, but then you have to do an extra step to paste it into the "reply" box. I haven't really tried to figure it out, because I already found a way that works.

they look like maybe a little over a week.

Hello,
@Miss Lydia
I heard muscovy ducks roosts like a chicken. Do I have to provide them with a branch or something to roost from now while they're still baby ducklings? Also, when do they sleep? I don't see them sleeping but they probably sleep later after I sleep and wake up early, because if they didn't sleep they wouldn't be as active in the morning. I tried providing them dead worms that I bought from the duck shop and they really love it. Everytime I put some, they quickly run to it and finish it in seconds. They also seem to like eating grass. I put in some sand with them just in case they need it for digesting the grass and the food.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I'm sure they are sleeping. I bet they loved the worms my birds do too. Good idea on offering sand just don't mix it with their feed or they may eat too much they know instinctively when they need grit to help them break down their food. Are you feeding them feed for poultry?

 

[Hamudazahabi]

I'm sure they are sleeping.

I guess so, but now it is 1 AM, and I slowly walked to them without making any noise to see, and all three are awake but are sitting down. Maybe they somehow heard me even though I was very slow, or they were not sleeping at that time. The chicks though are sleeping because they're very very noisy when awake, and there is no noise now.

I put the sand in its own container on the side. Should I also give one for the chicks?

Are you feeding them feed for poultry?

Yes. I am mixing some chick feed with duck feed that I bought from that poultry shop. I also mixed in niacin suprement in their water and followed the amount written on the package, although the packet also contains other vitamins as well. It's called Vita-stress, and its purpose is as an anti stress for poultry and also to increase strength for a weak animal, but I bought it from an "animal pharmacy" and they said this is very good to give everyday for a duckling.

Are the ducklings supposed to be sleeping now at 1 am?

Is a light on? If a light is on that will keep them from sleeping

There is no light on in the room, but there is light on the stairs and only a little arrives. I hardly see there but after a little I can see. I don't know if the sound of the clock might also disturb them.

I attched a photo, but its not very clear. When I tilt my head I can see their eyes and they start looking at me as well and moving their heads. They're not active running around like the morning, but aren't sleeping either, even though it's 1:40 AM right now. They're silent and are just sitting, and remain silent even when they see me. In the morning, they start making sound right when I come to them. I am going to sleep now, and just hope for the best.
