    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    Thank you! Yes, she is adorable. It is great to know what kind of duck she is. And yes, she trills... so Lucky must be a girl! :-) I feel like that could make things a little bit easier. Currently she is perched on my lap... one of her favorite places, even better than top of the foot...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    Thanks, Miss Lydia. :) Lucky still doesn't quack, just little chirps of happiness. I certainly will send a video when the quacks start coming. ... Currently on my foot! LOL I love this little ball of feathers. Thank you!!!

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    Thank you! I don't know if Lucky is male or female yet. My intuition tells me it's female. How will I be able to tell? And if Luck is a female, will she too be looking to mate... or is it a different situation? Thank you in advance. All the advice I am receiving from this forum is...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    Hello again... So since I have decided to keep Lucky Duck, I am reading as much as I can. I keep seeing that it is important to keep more than one duck. I understand that. The problem is, I am not in a position to add ANOTHER duck to the family. I might be able to do this in a year or two...

    LOL... careful what you ask for... I have so many pictures... here are some :) Lucky Duck as a baby: Hanging out with Jorek the Dog Exploring outside with Odin the Cat Luz Goose & Tabitha Goose are curious (and Tabitha disapproves!) Lucky Duck loves sitting in front of the mirror (Kit...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    Good morning and thanks for asking. :) Lucky Duck is currently on my feet. I have decided to keep him (her)... or do the best I can. The outdoor cage is 1/4 of the way built... and should be completed by Wednesday. Meanwhile, I am loving and caring for this rapidly growing -- and very...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    thanks. It concerns me too. I will have the option to bring Lucky when I decide... but I agree, the "drop off and don't come back" feels weird. Granted it is the private residence of a multi-millionarie, so they probably don't want a random woman on the grounds "just to visit a duck" ;-)...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    I do not know the sex yet. No quacking. Pretty quiet for the most part. Perfectly content to be in the next room, sitting in front of the mirror, knowing I am just around the corner. But if I go "too far" I hear the "alert" sound of three sharps chirps on repeat. Other than that...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    thank you for your response. It makes me feel better. This week I am having a friend come to construct a separate space for the duck outside, next to the geese. It is a little difficult because I am a renter, and the landlord lives next door. She's been tolerate of my other 6 pets (dog...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    Thank you. I don't know what breed the duckling is. I live in Panama. It looks like it is grey. Maybe his beak will turn red? I was told that I must leave him and not visit. It sounds like they will plop him right in. There is a different view of animals in this country... and to...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    Thank you for your response. Currently the duck is extremely bonded to me (my fault, I spend a lot of time with him)... and he is only 1 month old. Do you think I should bring him immediately?? ... Or should I wait until 2-3 months, when he has all feathers and is less needy for it's...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    I am not able to make visits or make any kind of smooth transition. The caretaker just informed me that I cannot visit and that I must drop the duck off and leave it. He said it would cause the duck too much separation anxiety if I left and came back multiple times. Now I am so...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    Thank you for your reply. What age should I start to transition him? I don't know if sooner is better than later, since currently there are no other ducks around. Or, if giving it another month or so... and maybe the attachment will lessen? I am in no rush to get rid of him, but I know...

    please help! Transitioning an imprinted 1-month old duck away from me

    hello, About a month ago a very tiny baby duckling appeared where I work. Apparently had been wandering around with no mother to be seen for a few days. I have two geese, so I took it home and provided it the proper care. My plan was (and is) to let him go, as I cannot maintain a duck in...
