Hi, we had our duckling hatched a week age and we originally were going to allow the mom duck to take care of them on her own. But, one was taken by a predator, so we decided to put them in a cage so they would be safe. The next day I went to feed them and some had gone to our other mom duck with her older baby's (there was a large age difference, some were a week and the others were 12 weeks) . And she (the original mom of them) had trampled some. 1 died, but we were able to save the others. Why did the baby's go to the other mom? Why would the mom kill her baby?
