Help I need advice

[Jenna6873]

Ok so I had 5, 3 week old ducklings. 2 went missing so we panicked thinking a predator got them. We moved the remaining 3 into the barn. Within days, I found one, #3, that I thought was dead. When I went to remove it, it was barely breathing. I tried to help it but it passed later that day. The next day, again, I found yet another one, #4, that was showing the same symptoms as #3. I quarantined him and decided I had better take the last one, #5, as well, even though he seemed to be ok. Well the sick one started to seem better as the day went on, but sadly it passed the next day. Well I still have the last one, #5, and he seems to be doing fine. I've had him separated for about a week just to make sure. How do I reintroduce him to his mom?

I'm so sorry about your ducklings
I have very very little experience with ducklings let me say first of all.
You could try reintroducing, but their mom may not accept them again. Since the ducklings have been through so much stress, maybe it's a good idea to keep them inside in a brooder? Because maybe a predator will try to get them again when they are with their mom. The problem might be that their mom isn't protective enough of them I'm thinking. Either way is good.
