Is mom acting fine with it? if so I'd let her have it to care for. I have 4 new ones with a mom and they do so much better than us. If you have a drake though I'd give him temp quarters till ducklings are at least 3-4 weeks old. Congrats!!!
Do you think any more will hatch? I know it's a worry when they are so tiny, I surely don't want to influence you in the wrong way if you feel you should remove it, I'm just thinking the duckling and of course mama will be very sad.
Ducklings are a lot stronger than we give them credit, one of mine was grabbed by a blk snake first day mom brought them out, I found it with the snake coiled around it and I just knew it was dead, by the time I got the snake un wrapped and took care of it I wasn't even sure the lil one was still alive but it was and after spending the rest of the day and 1 night in hospital crate it was back with mom and sibs. It was a miracle. Still limps a little from where the snake grabbed it but other wise it is doing great. They are pretty tuff lil cookies even when first hatched
Not really maybe she felt safer moving them. just make sure feed and water is close by and she'll show them where it is. It's been over 2 days since you first posted and your first lil one is still there right? sounds like mama knows what she is doing. JW gave good advise.
