hello,

yesterday in the morning I found a duckling, away from her mother, and was nearly stepped on by other ducks, so I take it because I was afraid that something will happen to it, her mother neglects her. but till now, the duckling is still weak and I think it thinks that it is still in the egg. she makes some sound when she's not in a round shape (as in the picture), and then it keeps trying to get it that shape and then it keeps sleeping. is there something that I can do?

also, the thing that sticks on her belly is still there.

Put her in a small bowl or a teacup lined with a soft cloth and someplace very warm, 90F. Let her finish absorbing the yolk. Just let her be for 24 hrs,checking only to make sure she's still alive. Looks like she was hatched too soon. Did you help her out?

I tried my best to keep her warm and to help her, but sadly she did not make it :(
