on sep 6th this year my 'scovy hatched out some eggs..she killed all but one of her babies which i managed to rescue and brought inside to rear.
well the little guy (or gal) is now 2 months old and pretty big....been living outside with chicks in the barn and is acting more like a chicken than a duck..so id like to put him back with the ducks....but how do i go about that?
also by 2 months old i thought he'd be all feathered out..but he's still mostly all fluff (bar his wings and tail which have big duck feathers)
will it be ok to introduce him to the ducks....or should i put him in the hen house with the chicks (who are moving out to the big chicken pens this week)
he has to go in one or the other or he'll be all alone in the barn as everyone is moving out too.
or he gets brought inside with me (he's very tame and loves company) but then he's always stuck indoors alone as i work all day... *sigh* not sure what to do for the best?
