Lone duck to two week old ducklings

[sondieblondie]

I bought ducklings because one of my ducks passed away so now I'm down to one 1 year old magpie. I bought 5 ancona ducklings hoping she would take them in for companionship or mothering them as her own. Does anyone have some advice for this. My magpie gabbie wasn't doing well with the loss of her sister. So I'm hoping this will help her in the future. Currently I have put a temporary pin butted up to the run. She doesn't seem interested in them (my broody hens seem more interested). I appreciate any feedback!

I'm sorry about your duck.

I would suggest keeping them with-in sight of her but not introducing them until they are fully feathered. By then she should be use to them and perhaps even like them.

Best of luck!

And very pretty ducks.
