Saving an Abandoned Duckling

[Caeley McCarty]

Hello everyone. Yesterday I found a duckling all alone in the lagoon peeping like crazy. I caught her after realizing that there were no ducks in sight. It right now is in a bin with a heat lamp and food and water. Also, I don't know if i should introduce it to my 2 adult Pekins or if they are just going to kill it. I don't know how old it is or what I should do with it. Any suggestions? Here is a picture of it so you might be able to help guess the age. Thanks

Looks like a Mallard duckling. I’d call wildlife rescue they will care for the duckling till it can be back in the wild. Your adults could def kill the little one
