I recently acquired a tiny fluffy yellow duckling from a girl who thought she wanted it but decided she didn't after it pooped on her hand.
I would love to go to TSC to get some friends for her but their limit is 6 and I couldn't possibly take that many.
So for now Zaxby is a lone duckling.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone had any advice for playing with and socialising her? She's already claimed me as mommy and she follows me around everywhere but I'd like to actually "play" with her, though I'm not sure how ducklings play.
Ive ordered some diapers for her because I'd like her to be an indoor/outdoor duck.
She currently resides in a plastic bin with a brooder lamp and she's eating dumor chick/duckling starter/grower with a bit of ultra kibble supplement.
She loves bath time and diving under water (like any duck would) I'm going to get some cat toys later this week to give her something to do in the bathtub.
She's so sweet and I can't wait to watch her grow ^_^
I say her, though I'm not sure if she really is a she, I suppose time will tell.
I think she's a Pekin but not sure.
I have a swim-able clear creek at the edge of my yard that I like to canoe in with my dog Charlie and I plan to take Zaxby with me when she's fully feathered, the way she acts when she sees water I know she's going to be thrilled.
By the way my name is Rebekah and this is my first time owning a duck, though my papaw has always raised chickens so I know a tiny bit about them.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
