Towels are safest for ducklings. You got that right! The water from the tap isn't good? What if it is boiled first? I lived in China for 7 years and had to boil water.

Can you share a pic of limon? Poor thing...lost her sister. It's a lonely life for a duck. I am trying to source more as well. Only 2 hatched so I live in fear 1 will get ill and the other will be all alone. I can't be with them all the time.

Water in Turkey is iffy. It's usually clean, but ours has a high concentration of minerals. Not safe for drinking. We are hoping to get her a buddy or 2 this spring.
