Well we did it! We got a duckling so our mallard can have a friend again. It’s a pekin duckling, don’t know the gender. And boy is it LOUD! It’s been peeping ever since we took it out of the bin at the store which made me feel horrible for taking it from its siblings but the little one won’t be alone forever. It’ll have our other duck plus the 5 chickens we have. But it is alone right now. We put it’s cage up with fresh water and the baby food it needs so it’s definitely set up to grow healthy. But I’m still a bit worried about it being alone. I’m planning on spending lots of time with it so it doesn’t get too lonely.
We brought our other duck in to see it and she was afraid of the little thing lol I don’t blame her considering how loud it was peeping lol. It seems pretty healthy. Pretty tired after everything but I don’t blame it, the poor thing is probably pretty scared right now. Its nose Seems to really be clogged so I put it in a tiny bit of water in the tub but it did not like that one bit lol. Now it’s sitting on my lap just kinda chilling out. It didn’t eat any food or drink any water when we put it in the cage. We’ve raised two ducklings before but they had each other and 5 other chicks so I guess what I’m doing is asking for help? Any tips or things to know?
