    I cant post pics from my phone, the duckling is in a storage tub brooder with pine shavings and a towel. No swelling, I was using nutridrench for the niacin but I guess it wasn't enough for it because its limp has gotten worse the last 2 days

    We have cleaned it twice now, and yes the poop smells bad. Its not eating now. Its bill looks pale. My neighbor gave it to me the day it hatched. It didn't walk for 2 days then perked up and seemed great but now has suddenly dropped off. I added nutridrench and electrolytes to its water today...

    I have a week old duckling I'm concerned about. I've had it since the day it hatched. I noticed last night it seems to have pasty butt. (sorry if this is too detailed) when it pooped it was pretty clear and kinda oozed out. I raised 5 ducklings before I was given this one without any problems...

    I was given a freshly hatched pekin duckling from my neighbor, mom wasn't looking after it, and it wasn't walking we have it in a brooder with 2 stuffed ducks, seems to be doing great on its own, up and moving great at 3 days old. I don't like raising one by itself but we already have 5 3 month...

    I have invested a lot of time with these little ones and they seem to really enjoy human interaction, it would break my heart if I lost one to a predator.

    I would love to get 2 dog lots and put them together for my ducks to be kept in. Of course mine will have to be kept up in the lot when I am not around. I want them to have room. The reason I want this covered lot is to keep some of the rain out, I know they love water but to try to keep there...
