Duckling with Daughter


This is one of our ducklings with our daughter. It became cold outside and we had to bring the babies in where it is warm and cozy. They were living in an outdoor enclosure and now they are living in our shed. They have a warm bed and a heated room. We took the ducklings from their mother and let Momma Duck rejoin the other adult ducks. Momma Duck was angry about us scooping up her babies, but is happy to be back in the pond. She is back to her care-free duck life.


FYI....Baby ducks have to be kept very warm and dry until they have their adult feathers. If they are sent outside with cooler temperatures and baby feathers they will not survive.


Have a wonderful weekend!!!!
