Looking for advice

[LeonaL33]

Hi. I'm looking for some advice on introducing my 3 wk duckling to his parents and momma goose. I took over with the incubation because it was February. I'm in Canada. He would not of survived and I wanted to give him a chance at life. I tried to introduce him today. Papa duck just chased him the others stayed away and my little guy would not leave my side. Any suggestions?

Start with putting him in a dog crate or something to keep him separate and safe from everyone else while still being able to see each other.
Supervise them together. Just let them see each other for 5 mins at first then gradually increase that time. Try this at least once a day, more if possible.
Once he's bigger you can let them have some supervised time outside of any confinement. Again, this shouldn't be for too long at first but you can increase the time as he gets bigger.
