Yesterday I saw my dog retrieve something from the pool. I thought it was a gopher and went to take it away from her, and it was a tiny little Mallard! About the size of a mouse. He wasn't injured. I put him in a big box with a towel, an ashtray of water and a heat lamp. The feed store sold us "Livestock Feed" pellets for him. This doesn't seem right to me somehow. We have chickens.....Can I give him the Layena Crumbles I give them? Also, he was really squalking and jumping around his box, so I'm holding him in a towel on my chest, and he immediately went to sleep. Is this bad? We have searched our entire property, looking for his family, or eggshells. We can't find anything. We've never seen ducks anywhere near here! It's such a mystery how he got in our pool!
