This is great for 3 days. The distance will close. I introduced my ducklings to my big ducks around this same age, and now my ducklings won’t leave my big ducks alone!! Occasionally, I’ll see the group split in 2, but every other time, they are together as 1.
Also, I have to say, it looks like...
If they’re both doing the random honk, then they’re almost certainly girls. Boys will keep their baby peep until around 8 - 10 weeks, and then start to get the whispery croak.
Sounds like you’re doing a great job with these lovelies.
Chicken and Shrimp are old enough to be voice-sexed now, so if you can get a video of their voices, upload it to YouTube, and link it here, we can confirm their genders for you :)
Oh, they are just lovely ☺️ Wonderful names you’ve picked out. I think you’re right about Shrimp being a Blue Runner. So sorry she had such a tough ride; I’m happy to hear she’s doing better now.
I’ve had bossy and assertive ducklings, both male and female. Personally, I’d wait for something...
Poor Popcorn. She’ll be so happy to have friends again.
The biggest concern with that feed is the extra calcium - Layer feed should generally only be given to egg-layers, hence the name haha. I personally use Purina’s duck feed, and it’s been great, but there’s plenty of other...
So sorry for your loss :hugs
I don’t see why not, if your workplace is fine with it. It might be stinky, though.
I guess just the regular duckling stuff - make sure they’ve got good feed 24/7, a niacin supplement, water deep enough to dunk their bills. Start at around 90 - 95°F for the heat...
