So, I've recently come to own 2 rescue ducklings that are now (roughly) 5-6 weeks old.
Until now, things have gone quite splendidly! However, I now have concerns. It seems the smaller of the two seems to be...growing differently. I'm noticing that not only are the pin feathers(?) smaller than the other duckling's, but that they seem to be growing upward...pointing in a different, awkward, direction. Nothing like the second, larger, duck.
It also seems the larger duck is now starting to bully the smaller one. Until recently, they've been so dearly close and affectionate, but now I see the other take aggressive snaps at the smaller duck's back and wings causing her(or him) to cry out.
Can't say I'm familiar with any of this, so I'd love some advice on how to deal with such!
Thanks soooo much!!
