Hello!
I have a duckling who has decided I'm mommy. My neighbor found her in a parking lot and brought her to me to care for since she knows I have chickens and foster kittens etc. She's only about 10 days old at the most now. She sits with me every second possible haha and I even got a little fanny pack to carry her around so she's not lonely! It's pretty cute. She makes the saddest peeping sound if she can't see me, I don't like it!
I don't have other ducks, but I do have chickens that I'm hoping she can spend time with once she's big enough. It's nearly impossible to get her just one friend and not 6 ducklings and even so, duckling time is kind of over now :/. I'm still looking for a friend for her if possible though.
But in the meantime, is it ok for her to walk around on wood flooring? I've read somewhere that maybe that's not good for their feet?
I'm not sure if she'll be a totally outside duck or what but I'll be playing it by ear.
Does anyone have an indoor duck?
I think she's a wood duck. I live in upstate NY and I think they migrate away from here in winter so I'm not sure how she'd do outside in the winter :/.
Thanks for your help!
