Ok so I have never had ducks before I have a few chickens tho. So this duck was supposed to be my taxidermy project I thought he was already dead and everything and sitting in a freezer turns out he's alive and I just couldn't let anyone fill him so now he's a pet out with my four hens I do know the basics for ducks that they need to have enough water for doping there head under and that they eat insects and lettuce and bread but that bread isn't good for them but he came from a breeding pen with another male and hasn't had a lot of human interaction but I got him yesterday I took him out to the coop built a new box for him in the ground with fresh hay fed the chickens and gave them fresh water and the food and water dishes he can easily use so I left for the night today after school whent out to check on everyone threw them food scraps he wouldent touch it or the chicken feed I took him inside to take a bath (he was covered in piss from being transported) he played in the water I put frootloops in the bath for him to play with an eat he wouldent eat the although he did play with them I also gave him bread chunks he wouldent even touch them I wasn't really worried tell I took him out and he popped on the floor and the poop was nothing but water so now I don't know what to do I felt his neck to see if there was anything in his scoop but there was nothing if you have any idea what I should do or anything I sho know about having a duck please let me know
