    Baby duck has clear mucus coming out nose

    My baby Indian runner, about 6 days old, has some weird clear mucus coming out her nose. She was a little tired when I got home today, but still eating and drinking. It came out when I picked her up. What should I do, and is this normal?

    Has anyone had their hen raise a duckling?

    I have a couple of Silkies who have hatched some ducks for me and they are wonderful mothers considering they are a chicken and the babies are ducks, but they do really well! I was wondering if anyone else has done this before?
