Aww I'm sorry, Glad to hear he others are doing great!!.Well, sad to say, Raggedy Ann did not make it. She was just too small & weak. I brought her in after finding her sitting alone, apart from Mom & the other ducklings & gave her food, water & heat which seemed to help but she finally succumbed. The 3 who hatched the same day are doing great - avoiding Mom's feet, scampering around for bits of dropped food. I have to believe in the natural order of things, survival of the fittest & all that. Still, I hate to lose one, even if she was doomed for a life of 'special needs' care.

I have a broody muscovy that when off the nest walks around with her head down. She also "coos" when anyone approaches the nest. (She's sitting on ceramic eggs as I don't want ducklings.) The male muscovy is quite mean to her and takes her food away. Plus, all five pekins decided to pile on her while she was sittings. The pekins are shut out of the pen now, so they can't sit on her. Is the cooing and stooped posture normal?
When mine was broody and still now with chicks, that's what she does to try and chase us off. She'll put her head down and make a whisping noise and if we get to close she'll charge at us a little but then back away. She does it everytime i go in to feed and change water. As people are coming to buy the babies now I really feel bad for her. She gets sooo upset.I have a broody muscovy that when off the nest walks around with her head down.
