Introductions

[Blue Raptor]

Hey i’m from Australia and this is my introduction. I just bought a duck and i want to be a duck mummy. I don’t know if it’s a he or a she yet and i don’t know how old they are as the person i bought the duck of didn’t tell me any information. If u guys have any tips to help me with being the best duck mum i would love it.

first pic i thought black swedish. 2nd pic i think maybe blue swedish.
Please try to get a 2nd duckling.
Ducks are very strongly "Flock animals"
they cant lead a truly happy fulfilling life without another duck.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!!

I recently gave a baby chick to our neighbor who wound up with similar, one baby duck. That helped, but he still wasn't too happy so we went to poultry swap and bought a baby duck. Now, it's happy!

maybe, do the ducks need friends? I hope im not gonna kill the duck because i took it away from its duck family.

You are not going to kill the duck. They just do better with friends.
