Hello Friends!
We got our 4 Runner ducklings on Wednesday and I've just been noticing that they run around or get up to eat/drink and then sit or lay down often. Is that common with ducklings or specifically runners? I think they are only a few days old. I have nutritional yeast in their flock raiser feed. I've put electrolytes and probiotics in their water. They have the mama heating pad/cave for warmth. I just want to make sure they are okay. I've looked it up and I didn't see too much info about it. They might just be lazy (eating or drinking while laying down) or maybe just tired from growing. I don't know. I've included a video of them in action. The two larger blue ones are the ones I see laying down the most. Thanks for any tips or reassurance.
