how to care for a wild duckling

[Wolfefarmyard]

the closest is 5hrs away...

Well there may be individuals wildlife rehabilitators closer.

I’m not sure what the laws are but it may be illegal to raise.

I think it’s a Barrows Goldeneye.

I agree, try to find a wildlife rescue ASAP!

It’s a baby golden eye!!! I love them!!! My parents will be traveling through Canada this week! I’m not sure where though. What town are you in?

no there isint im a wildlife technician and i deal with wildlife rehabers and and theres none around. for heat do i base the temp on a farm duck?

It’s beautiful! I wouldn’t put it in with the Muscovy. I have no idea what to feed a loon, but for ducklings we always add scrambled eggs to non-medicated starter crumbles (and plenty of water to drink, of course). Good luck!

Well I’d at least find someone experienced with raising them like @The Phantom

Brood it similar to normal ducklings but it’ll need a friend and you should feed it waterfowl crumble or flock raiser.
