Raising pekin/Rouen ducklings

[silkiemother]

the only problem is that she is so into brooding, she won't eat or drink on her own unless I make her

So they haven't even hatched yet? I left the computer for a sec. LOL If she is in a safe place and is dutiful to her eggs it should be fine for your brother to take care of her.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Well will your brother take her off the nest so she will eat? I have to do that with some of mine that just won't leave the nest. How old is your brother is he an adult. Written instructions can be a good idea.

he is 29 and he knows birds very well, but I don't trust him with my baby,Baby

 

[silkiemother]

I have literally threatened to stay home or take baby to Grandmas' with me, if we don't stay at home

 

[Miss Lydia]

Hopefully it will all work out.
