Please help me! Do I need to help out?

Hello everyone 😊
I ended up assisting with the other one too and have been so worried about her but she seems to have found her strength and her feet now! They’re both absolutely beautiful!
We have little Gerald and little Daphne!

Congratulations on them, they are adorable! ☺️ Every time I see ducklings they make me want to get some, but I'm convinced they're not an animal for me so I resist, but it's so hard! 🥰
 
Just a few more pictures and then I’ll stop 😆 I am utterly in love with them 🥰

Absolutely adorable ducklings!

When I get a yearning for ducks, I gaze into my neighbor's yard and then remember "Oh yeah! That's why I don't have ducks."

In fairness though, the neighbor was unlucky enough to only hatch male birds and these drakes, about three or four years old now, terrorize her CHICKENS, mounting them, etc., without mercy. Thankfully, I believe the drakes are satisfied with the ritual rather than actual mating as I'm sure they'd kill my neighbors hens for sure.

I've tried to discuss the matter with my neighbor, but between the language barrier and the "I don't give a flip" attitude on her part, I've not made any headway.

I'm still left to wonder why she doesn't put the drakes on her dinner table.
 
@Ebony Rose that’s really sad for the hens poor things!
Just a quick update if anyone is interested!
We kept one of the ducks and my best friend has the other one with her and her family.
I had worried that gerald (the baby we kept) would get lonely but he’s having a blast! He follows us all around and loves being with me and my boys, gets on with our other animals (we have four cats and a dog) so he has other animal friends and has just started enjoying the outdoors 🥰
In fact the cats are more cautious of him than the other way around 🤣
He’s beautiful, he now spends his days outdoors and then comes indoors in the evenings for a bath, is diapered and then sleeps indoors, usually in my bed… snuggled into my neck. I think he thinks he’s still tiny!
I also think that he…. Is actually possibly a she as he quacks away and I think with Indian runners it’s only the females that quack isn’t it?
Anyway I’ll add a few photos so anyone that’s interested can see how he’s growing ♥️🐥
 
Long outgrown his little buddy we gave him when daphne (the other duckling) left us to go to her family!
