Need help for Alfred!

KC is also a choice

Personally out of all my ducklings i think my kc are the most friendly, but they'll be much smaller

Have you found any yet?

The guy has Rouen, pekin, fawn and white runner, khaki Campbells, and call ducks. I hope to go get one after school tomorrow, but he said to call before I come because he's not sure if he will be home! I hope he is because if i can't get one tomorrow I have to wait until Thursdays. And leaving Alfred for school and then work will give him absolutely attention from mommy Tuesday and barely any Wednesday since its school 8:20-3:25 (so ill be gone 7:45-3:45) and then work 4-9 Tuesday and school 8:20-2:15 Wednesday (so gone 7:45-2:30) and then work 4-8. Mom is going to try to bring him downstairs 2-3 times tomorrow for like 10-15 min (no longer or he'll get too cold) but still that's a lot of alone time. And apparently when I'm gone he just sits in his box cuddling with his toy ducks until I come home

Bentlee and Alfred this morning
And this is from yesterday,

That's nice.

Will he become less friendly and cuddly if I get him a ducky friend? How much age difference can there be between them. I found someone with silver appleyards as well, but they are in the other direction. Should I get one of them instead even if I have to wait a little longer?

I hope you always keep a close eye on your Bentlee while Alfred is around him, Terriers have a strong prey drive just as dachshunds do, I learned that the hard way last year when my Dachshund got one of my ducklings, and he has been around them all his 4 years.

I think Alfred is imprinted on you so he will bond with another duckling but you will always be his mama I can vouch for that since I raised one in the house by himself and he is still my baby and almost 2 yrs old. even though he has 3 girls and is the King of the barnyard now. lol
this is why i always caution folks about their dogs, https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/771665/my-duck-has-a-broken-foot
