Sick baby duck!!! URGENT! NEED HELP!

[Miss Lydia]

Scooter died... I'm very sad... He was very important in my life and I loved him... I felt I was like the mother he needed. He was lovable and playful and only yesterday did he catch his first fire ant!
We think his body was so big because he spent more time developing that than his heart
and neck. We will bury him later. I miss him a lot........

But...
I'm a duck mother again! There was another duckling in need of help. Her beak was bleeding and she was sick and being ignored. The guinea hen pecked her, AND the goose BIT her! She couldn't really walk, but thankfully, didn't do the whole neck thing like scooter! She is in my house with me in lap. Only two healthy ducks left in the coop plus her.

I'm sorry you lost Scooter.

Now...
We have Gia And marco!
both rejects. Just found marco all muddy and wet. Me and my fried cleaned him off. Gia is the girl duck i previously told you about.

I need a lot of help with these two ducklings.

Gia has a small gash on her beak and is traumatized from the male ducks.

Marco was on his back in the mud and his feathers are plastered to him even though we gave him a bath! Also, he won't stop preening, he is very uncomfortable.



What should I do for both?

Maybe you should start a new thread?

A new thread is a good idea. First, Gia needs to be in a safe place. So does Marco.

What are you feeding them?
