The next day after hatching it started eating...It was a bit weak too but after 48 hours it was fine....
I wet my Duckling feed to a soupy mix the first few days till they are better at eating....That way they get hydrated and get food.....
I do the same, but it refuses to drink water, eat any solid or water mixed food, didn't drink sugared water,... I tried to put a few drops into its bill, but I had no luck.
No, not even once yet.Is your duckling pooping?
I tried getting them together again and the healthy duckling goes for its eyes and quite roughly pulls its feathers. I have removed them. At the moment, I only have two ducklings, both in the same large box so they can hear each other. The weak one is in a smaller box. Sometimes the large one knocks on the smaller box and the weaker duckling replies the same way but very slowly.Also put it back with the other Duckling....They were not attacking it..They noodle each other for comfort and how they get to bond....That Duckling might be very lonely and why it just sleeps.....The others will get it up and eating and drinking.....
