I have no idea what I am doing

Trying to. The weather just started to get warms so we take him out when we get home and get him tired. My sister takes him out for us in the afternoon for a swim

I wanted a healthy baby but I got the hulk instead lol

Think it's okay...as long as he doesn't turn green when he's angered.

Look at that healthy, happy, adorable little(ahem, BIG) 'ling!!!

What an amazing rescue story! It makes me think of the story of the guy who was tossing starfish back into the ocean and someone asked him why it even mattered when there were so many that he wouldn't be able to save and he said "It matters to this one". Most people would've just walked by that egg. I for one am thrilled you didn't!

Thank you. As much as we are loving him to the sky and back I still keep asking myself if we are doing the right thing. When we are outside and he is running around and swimming and digging for around for something to eat I think yes but at night when we put him in his cage with the heat lamp and he goes nuts I think no. I guess only another week or two of that and things should be more normal for Lucky.

I wouldn't think a heat lamp is necessary at this time?

He will be three weeks old tomorrow. I thought we were supposed to drop the temp 5 degrees a week until room temp no?

Yes, 5 degrees a week but they don't start at 95 like chicks. They start at 75 like ducks (from what I've read. I'm no expert but we have a clutch of 12 orphaned wild ducklings that we found at a day old and whom we adopted to a broody hen! We hit 4 weeks yesterday.
