When ever i take one of my duckling he screams when i take him away.

I have 3 four day old ducklings and one of them scream and screams if i take one of the other 2 away what does it mean?

Why are you taking one away?
The screaming is probably because you are scaring it.

What breed? Have you examined it? Is it possible that it has an injury? What are the living conditions?

Ducks are at the very bottom of the food chain and depend on their flock for a sense of safety. When you remove one you are taking away their feeling of being safe with their bonded flock mates. It's like leaving a baby by itself in a room and expecting it not to cry.

My ducklings cry when one is taken too
You are removing the ones they have imprinted on
Nothing is wrong with the baby
