Indeed. I have never found anything left from a duck that became victim of a predator. Not a single feather, it is as if Beamy scotted them up.

Frank were they able to fly at all? I know the Mallards could as my boys that I have sold people have flown away never to be seen again. Runner ducks are not supposed to be able to fly yet the guy I bought my two babies from last year said his flock flew very well. My huge Mule duck can fly as high as my house with one wing clipped! I could not believe she would be able to do that.

his little foot is getting better but his leg is twisty what else can i do

So absolutely precious!!!!

I got distracted and left the incubator open for 25 instead of 10 minutes for the daily cooling... Not good but how bad?

I've recently lost power for 60 hours and still had some make it through. They'll be fine.

Here she is… I named her Frankie! after my Dad

Awwww! So sweet! How's her foot?

the boot fell off a couple times and she walks without it better than with it now so i left it off overnight but i noticed this morning it trying to curl back a little so i made a new boot a little bigger
when do you think i can start swim therapy? she is about 3.5 days old now, and i am seeing her using her preen gland even though she’s not wet … maybe i’ll try her in a little water this afternoon when i change the boot wrapping again

She can go but just a little bit so she doesn't get too cold. Dry her off afterwards. Just no more than 3 minutes. I made up the time.

If shes going to be where it’s warm and warm water 5 mins. Even 10 would be fine just keep feeling the water to make sure it isn’t cooling too much. She’s going to love a bath!

oh me oh my!! I just had the most wonderful idea!! I could not find any recently hatched Gosling friends for Frankie anywhere near me- BUT- I just remembered- my Tractor Supply has ducklings!! What if I just go pick up a couple of them? Last time I was there I saw some pretty big ones for $.50 each.!!!!!
