New Ducklings

[owenslarry]

My hen had little ones last week, she stepped on 6 of them in the nest and killed them. I removed the live ones, and moved them indoors. Can I return them to her when her final eggs hatch?

I would advice you to watch her around her new ones. Sometimes ducks just don't make good mothers.... They can be easily distracted and depending on what is happening can trample them Watch her closely with the next ducklings and if there is any doubt, please don't reunite the babies with her but round up all the babies and raise them yourself!

Hope this was helpful and congratulations on the hatching!!
