Lonely duckling😭

[Ducks for days]

My par are only allowing me to get one duckling and I don’t want it to get lonely and pass away I need help please!! Is there anything I can get or do to prevent loneliness and I have time to care for her because I don’t have school at the moment due to the virus.

Keep it company as much as you can will help a ton, or you could put a stuffed animal or a mirror in its brooder. Have you explained to your parents that ducks don't do well alone?

Yes several times.

From the way the first post sounds, you haven't actually gotten the duckling yet? If they don't agree to let you get at least two, then I'd say don't get one at all. I know it sucks, but you have to think about what's best for the duckling and put its needs above your wants - in this case, its need to have flockmates versus you wanting to have it.

But hopefully your parents will come around and let you get two.

I misconstrued your post, If you don't already have the duckling and can't get another one, It would definitely be best not to get them at all.

Get a kitten, they are cleaner, cuddlier and require less attention
