Now what to expect?

How much water do you think is in her bowl cup ful I’d go with half ml morning then when you refill put in another. I bet she’s a sweetie. Once she’s a week old start her on 1 ml daily. As you give her a deeper bowl to drink out of. When my ducklings where inside I had to change their water 2x a day they would muck it up so bad with their feed. They need the extra b’s until 10 weeks old. Keep the liquid b in the frig to keep it fresh.

It's just a pastry dish so small. She is an absolute joy lol. I wanted ducks but they are to messy for me, but I will make an exception for her (hope it's a her) I will do the half, she is almost a week already I believe. Can she play in a dish of water?

Of course if it’s warm water and she doesn’t chill.

Don't know if you can see the whit dot in her eye, the other side is worse.

Yes I can see it. She’s adorable! Do you think she has any vision?

Thank you, I absolutely love her. Her right eye I believe is the worse, don't think much if any vision. I am pretty sure she can see movement, shadows out of the eye I showed you. Any guess what caused it at such a young age?

Incubation, parents hard to say. It’s just wonderful your able to give her a home. She’ll need the security you can give her. But you have to let her be a duck too.

Yeah that's the really hard part lol. I am so torn about getting her a friend, I really don't need two ducks but I know it would be very beneficial for her.

I think in the long run 2 would be better, because they are flock animals and having a friend will help you both. She’ll be really demanding of your time, having a buddy and keeping them in a very secure coop and run will give her security and a way to be a duck. Just something to think about. I have 18 water fowl I can’t tell you the joy they bring me. They are messy creatures but it’s the best therapy there is.

I know it would help she can only get so much companionship out of a stuffed bunny. Thank you for so much information and walking me through duck ownership for dumbies lol. I guess the plus side of owning a blind duck is in time I can help other people on her with what I learn.
