Question about lone duckling

[Miss Lydia]

Which is why I'm using pine. Cedar isn't good for parrots either and my girls are my first concern.

I wouldn't go much older than a week. The longer ducklings are together, the more they bond so the one you get may be rather ****** and even more upset than your little guy.

I have a lone Muscovy who was in the wild with mother for a few days and she is so content, calm and quiet. I was beginning to think she was sick. It's amazing the difference between her and the wild mallard I have. That guy was a basket case until I could get him with some others.

So I just got back from a farm with some ducklings for sale...picked up two muscovey babies and a Cayuga. It took 2 minutes for everyone to settle down, eat, swim, and now they're all cuddling in their sleep carrier. The new babies are about a week to two weeks old and the Cayuga is like a giant and clumsy and adorable as heck. I'm gonna take them all down to the penned in part of my lake shore and let them play in the reeds. It seems the new babies have never seen grass or deep water before.

I sure hope you don't have snapping turtles.

We do have snappers but I penned in a portion of the lake shore then sat on the shore watching them.

This week alone we have read some awful horror stories about snapping turtles getting ducks so when you said that it sent shivers through me. Congrats on getting friends for your duckling, enjoy them and protect them. That's wonderful they took to each other so quickly.

Good luck with your new babies! Post pics when you can. I love Cayugas. They sometimes can be shy, but loveable.
