Hi! I have some good news, the tractor supply got in some pekin ducklings and we are going to pick one up later today! Any tips on how to get them intergraded fast if there is any trouble? Thanks again

Awesome! We'll need pictures, you've been given great advice.

Any update?

Sorry for the late reply! Black and tarry poo is almost always from blood in the upper GI tract. Seizures could be because of a loss of blood. I’m not sure what would cause that, but I’m so sorry.

Update on things!
For starters, I’m sorry it took so long to post an update for all the caring people who wanted one. We finally got Tweety some company!! When I called tractor supply to reserve a duckling to be set aside they put two on the side so the one wouldn’t be lonely. When we got back there they were too sweet to separate because now I know for a fact that the ducklings/ducks do get attached to one another. They took a little while to like each other, the little ones thought Tweety was a T-Rex sized giant! I think Tweety was a little confused because they looked like Little Bit, but they weren’t :/ I introduced them while they all were eating and that worked out pretty great because they were all distracted.We had them in two separate totes but we didn’t want them to get used to not being together. I eventually got them a 39 and 3/4” L, 21 and 1/2” W, 17 and 7/8” H tote because tweety is so tall now haha. They slept together last night and did good. I will be making them a real house soon

Here are some photos of Tweety and the little ones (we haven’t named them yet because we want to name them on their personalities/ quirks like tweety since she is SUPER LOUD when she tweets haha)

I will be starting a new thread and posting all of my random questions/things I haven’t been able to find of google on another post since this got so long so fast and I didn’t even mean for it too haha. I would love if you guys could take a look at it, I will tag you
Thanks

*I am going to refer to the duckling I am worried about as him since they don’t have names yet
Hi again,
About 2-3 hours ago tweety got an energy burst because he’s been inside the house all day today because the crazy storms are going nonstop (ugh). When he got his energy burst he started pattering around his tote and accidentally bumped or stepped on one of the littles. He was running, then I turned around to get him a treat, turned back around and saw the little one laying down and the other little one laying on top of him... he has a limp now (I think I am having bad luck haha) Eating and drinking, he is kind of army crawling his way to eat and drink. I gave him around 40 minutes without Tweety to just relax, be warm, and nap hoping that would make him better. I can’t see anything wrong with his foot itself. I sprinkled some B12 on top of his food to see if it could help his foot like it helped Little Bits. He is still limping so I separated Tweety from the ducklings as of now, anything I can do? Will it fix itself?

Could you post a video? Does the leg feel warm?

@casportpony @Miss Lydia @MasterOfClucker
His leg doesn’t feel warm, the hurt one or his good leg. I attached 2 videos that are the best I could get of his walking/limping. He likes to keep his hurt foot like relaxed is the only way I can think to put it. Hope you can understand, once again love these guys so much already haha, hate to worry about him so much!
