Hi I’m CC and I’m here for duck advice!

[chickens really]

Hang a mirror up in her pen and one in her house. She will be happy with her own reflection till you can find another Hen..

 

[happy duck]

Hey! Thank you! Question: I know ducks cannot be alone long term. Absolutely not. I’m wondering though if you think she would be ok for a little bit. We spend a lot of time with her and she plays with the dog (which is not the same I know) but I’d like to get her ducklings when it warms up a bit. We raised her as a pet so she knows us well and interacts with us a lot. People in my area who have ducks for sale haven’t raised them in a pet like manner. Obviously if I think she gets depressed I would take my chances with getting a duck that might not like us. I’ve been watching her eating and mannerisms. It’s only been a few days. She’s def wanting more interaction and snuggles from us which we are giving her. Just wondering if that’s too long. If I could find ducklings now I would get them today but they wouldn’t even be able to be with her in the cold. Thoughts?

I think she would be fine if you are spending lots of time with her. Some people only have one duck and all works out fine for them. I trust that if you think she needs another friend you will get her one .
