Hi, a muscovy duck hatched 10 ducklings in my backyard 2 weeks ago, and I have been taking care of them. one of them started limping real bad, I think the other ducks stepped on her. I was thinking of bringing her inside (with one of her brother/sister) and watching over her for 2 weeks to see if she will get better. Is it wrong to separate her from her mom? the mom moves around a lot, even at night and this poor thing is trying to follow her and seems struggling to catch up with her siblings. please advise. Thank you
 
hi thank you for your reply, i decided to leave her alone. she is 2 weeks old and very attached to her mom. I don't feel separating her is a good idea. Best Regards!
