Hello I’m a new member I never hatched ducks before. I only ever have adopted orphaned ducklings that lost mama’s. So I just want to know more information

Hi
Thank you for joining us

That's so sweet adopting orphans. You will find threads here to help you through.

What don't you know, about hatching it or raising it? We have all kinds of articles and information that can help you here.

Well it’s hatched but weak and idk if I should gI’ve it sugar water and I read giving it duck egg yolk can help and unfortunately I couldn’t find any spare duck eggs do you think a chicken egg would be possible

Hello and welcome to BYC!

I don't keep ducks so I can't tell you much, you might stop by our Ducks forum for help... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/

Welcome to our community!

This is a great idea @Ducklinglove143

Some of us just do chickens or other poultry so aren't much help with ducks. There you'll find duck people that can maybe help.

Also, did you see the article I posted above? That's full of help. Just skim to what you need help with as it's surely in there.

It will be fine to use a chicken egg. You can also give it some electrolytes.
