My neighbor gave me a duckling she found in a parking lot. It seems like it was probably only a day old but is doing great! The only thing is I feel like she must be lonely. I had the idea to 'steal' a chick from my hen who's raising chicks and give it to the ducking so she can have a buddy. The chicks are a bit older than the ducking but still very small, maybe 6 days old. They're more active but I doubt they would pose any threat to the duckling.
I don't have extensive experience with ducks or chickens so I thought I'd better ask some knowledgeable people before doing this. Can anyone see a reason I shouldn't do it? Thanks!
