Hi! My Indian runner has just hatched three ducklings todsy and i am considering whether to separate them from her and rest them in a heated indoor brooder. Looking for opjnions on this as i feel really bad taking them from her. My thinking is this... 1. She hatched a single duckling before which did not survive the night. She seemed a bit disinterested. 2. There are rats around the coop and I'm concerned they may target the duckling. 3. I cannot separate the drakes from the nesting area. Are these good reasons, or am I overthinking it and should let mamma get on with it? Thanks for opinions!
