I have RUINED this duckling!

How would a duck get along with my hens and roos? Are yours all together?

i raised 2 duckies, and they got along fine with my chickens and other animals. Mine were also so spoiled and always had to have human contact. I had to sleep with my hand hanging in the basket with them at night. I swear one of my babies was afraid of water, he would freak out and want out of the water. It was rather interesting to watch.

Baby ducks are very non-aggressive, and they have mingled their way into my chicken flock without trouble. If the big chickens get too frisky for them, they head for the water because chickies no likey water! They're smarter than you'd think!

I am so glad that baby made it. Makes me laugh to think you are ducky mom.

How gorgeous, id love to see ducky in the sling!!!
My ducks terrorise my poor chickens, especially 16 year old Goldilocks so it isnt working out.
Some people have much better luck with chookies and ducks.

my duckies loved my chicks. they would cuddle and hug with them. $h mom I'm trying desperatly to talk my hubby into building me a little pond like thing. We go on of those 110 gallon buckets from TS and once we figure out how to keep the goats from drowning....are going to put it in the field for my geese and later the ducks. Crystal

Deb, I'm not the kind that says "I told you so" but, if I were, I'd say, "I told you so"!!!!!

It sounds cute to have a duck so in love with it's "mommy" but it can get worrisome after a while, I know, being a former duck mommy! I used a sling on my little OEGB who's spine was injured by a rooster, and it worked great. Wish I could send it to you but I already gave it to someone else. The sling does work wonders! Just be sure to have lots of disposable diapers handy!
