Hi guys,
I went to my local produce shop on Saturday to buy some bedding for my hens and came back with an adorable duckling (best impulse buy ever).
My little duckling is settling in very well in its own little closed off coup within my hens’ free run area (hoping everyone will be used to each other by the time the duck has grown up). I let it have a little swim supervised once a day but it freaks out when I pick it up and doesn’t really like it sometimes when I pet it. It did fall asleep on me yesterday when I was petting it but was scared again today.
Are there any tips on getting it used to me?
Thanks in advance!!
Also, I have no idea what breed it is. I was so excited to bring the fella home that I didn’t ask
