I had two almost successful hatchings of ducklings the past summer, once with two ducklings, one with just one duckling.
both times the mothers got foxed, and the rest of the duck herd took to raising the ducklings, but if your duck is afraid of the duckling...
they're very social creatures. Is it impossible to buy another duckling? Isolation can have bad effects on their adult life...

@Elizabeth Hasse hello there! Sunni (the duckling) is now about 2 months old and Billy (our adult duck) is no longer afraid of him! The hens were scared of him when he was little as well and I think it was just because he looked super funny to them. But he’s grown and lives outside with them and they all get along! Sunni follows Billy around the yard all the time and they sleep together

I wish I was allowed to have my birds in my house!!!
occasionally in the summer, I do leave the french doors open in case my chickens would like to be adventurous...

Here’s some update pictures! Sunni is huge and extremely fluffy! He’s been dropping feathers everywhere recently because he’s getting his big boy ones in but he’s still as soft as ever. He’s also still a huge mamas boy as you can see in the one picture lol aside from his biting, him and Billy get along really well! He follows her everywhere and sleeps by her side
