Hi all,
I have recently got two khaki campbell
Ducklings and I have fallen in love. I do keep worrying about a few things though.
The first is that at night time we put them in their little house and put a blanket over it. It actually has a little door with slats and they try and jump out of it, this is why we put a barrier up and a blanket. Is it okay to put a blanket over them? They settle after about ten minutes.
The other is that one of our ducklings, Jennie, keeps nipping at us. On our faces and necks, she is also quite shy and doesn't like being held very much unless u really relax her. The other duckling Francis is the complete opposite, very calm and loves being held. Is this just a personality trait thing?
Thanks for this great website, I've already found lots of answers to my questions! Also ducklings are 6 days old.
Katie
