My approximately 10-12 day old Pekin duckling is being raised (very well) by a broody Silkie (chicken) hen, along with 3 other baby chicks. She seems happy and is eating and drinking well. She is definitely very bonded to her Silkie adoptive mama. My question is how often I should handle her at this point. She doesn't like to be separated from her "mother" and "siblings," and I don't want her to be stressed or unhappy. On the other hand, I'm raising her as a pet, and so I want her to know who I am and even like me. What do you think? Thanks!
