Single Duckling

[Crazy Maizie]

Ahh thats good to hear, I'm planning on getting another duckling for this one. What if the other duckling imprints on me. Am I allowed to leave it with my older duckling for longer periods of time like 2-3 hours?

There wouldn't be any reason why you can't leave the ducklings together for hours at a time.
Why the need to have the duckling imprint on you? Do you realize when ducklings imprint there is apt to be behavioral issues once they reach maturity. Also, most people do not understand what imprinting means. I really think you mean you want the duck to bond with you - to be a pet who follows you around. And, that is totally acceptable. It sounds like you will be spending lots of time with the ducklings, so you won't have to worry about them bonding with you. As long as you provide them with their essential needs and spend time with them, you will have two great pets.

@ducko, I believe you can buy 1 duck from here for a reasonable price and free shipping. They have a pretty good variety too. This is where I bought my goslings.

Metzer Farms makes you buy at least two ducklings and told me you have to buy multiple ones in order to qualify for that free shipping. At least this is what I have been told my them.

Okay. Thanks for clarifying.

Okay. Thanks for clarifying.

You are most welcome. I have bought two in the past from them but at least it is only two. Some hatcheries make you buy anywhere from three to fifteen.

Imprinting only happens in the first 24 to 48 hours.
