Have you seen the stickies on hatching waterfowl, and hatching muscovies? There is a link in blue letters at the top of the Duck Forum.

Hi all,
Just a quick question. Locking up my ducks tonight, on their way in on of them dived off chasing a fly as I watched I noticed it wasn't a fly but a bee. So I thought will a wasp or bee sting hurt a duck?
The bee was too quick and got away, but the duck was close to having it.

if they catch it and eat it, it'll be fine. I think the insects are more worried about escaping than stinging.
