Actually there's a huge wildlife refuge for animals which includes the Ivory Billed Woodpecker..... & in Arkansas too. I agree, it's better to Not advertise you see them on your own property, but they're not totally uncommon with the Large Arkansas 550,000 acre Habitat they have them in. The Link about it is here:

wood rocks* i believe folow the same rules as regular rocks... mabye a bit erly.. i hes moving then hats a good sign. reallllllllyyyyy hopng he/she makes it! will be very pretty.. wood ducks lay in hollowed out trees .. so if you found it on the ground its nost likely that you saved it! probl fell out.. you can go back to wherer you got it and see if you can see any trees around there that have holowed out truks twards the middle of them.. lol ind its bros and sis. how cute

That is totally a wood rock baby.

Look at this picture I found.....same stripes on the face....
Ohhh, I hope it makes it........

AND, the paper towel nest indicates you aren't the only one finding 'rocks'....

Goodluck with that wood rock! I raised a few once and let me tell you...Fun Fun Fun. Make sure you have a brooder with a lid, because at only a few days old they put their little claws into the side of a cardboard box and climbed on out! AND THEY ARE FAST! can jump like a kangaroo I swear. But they make the most beautiful sounds I think. You have one pretty baby!

Looking at some pics on Feathersite, it looks like it could be a woodrock... If it is, I think you'll need to hold it a few feet off of the ground and drop it. If I recall correctly, woodrocks won't eat without the drop (simulating the fall from the nest after hatch). Hope all goes well with it! I love woodies, but can't have them without a permit here. Great job hatching it, you must be so excited!

how's he doing?

I hope your feathered rock makes it

at about 2 in the morning i woke up and he had brok most of the shell of from rolling around . But the bottom part were the inbilical cord was was ripping and bleeding a bit from him trying to get it off and rolling . So i helped him with that to because he was making all kinds ofnoises and seemed to be in alittle pain .

I woke up today at 6 and my mom said he was still kicken and i just woke up aagian at 10.00 and he is still doing great . BUT he doesnt walk , Barely openes his eyes . He just like twists his neck and stuff and rolls around . He sems to have like neuralogic problems .

I just want him to get better and live and be a happy healthy duck .

Do you guys really think i need to drop him to get him started ???

Any info and help would be greatly appreciated

P.S he is deffinitaly a wood duck oh i mean "wood Rockling"
