THIS. DUCK. IS. NOT. DEAD! This isn’t fake! This is true. It legit just happened 5 hours ago. We currently have 4 Ducks, Brownie (Is a female Rouen Duck) Crooked (Is our slightly deformed Female Rouen Duck (Shes okay, She’s eating, Drinking water, and laying eggs and even swimming perfectly!) AFLAC (We had to name our male Pekin Duck That.) Ashley (The Female Pekin Duck that is currently sitting on the eggs) So, I was finished having my lunch. I wanted to go outside to check on our four domesticated ducks to see If our Pekin Duck, Ashley, is doing good with her eggs. I was kinda nervous coming into the barn because I saw previous dead Ducklings before. Yesterday, I saw two dead ducks in her nest..! But now, I don’t even know where those 2 ducks are! (Hopefully they are not still in the barn buried under the hey...! 0-0) There was a duckling on the barn floor. I ran over to it to see if it had still had a little life in it. I noticed that the little Duck was chirping and breathing. I was shocked about how it was still alive. I ran into my house and got my mom, I told her that we needed a heat lamp, and there was a baby duckling on the barn floor. Not near Ashley’s nest. So, the first thing we tried doing is putting the duck in a little nest in my house with a heat lamp to warm it up, and it did work. But, from where I live, it’s like 90 degrees , so it didn’t need the heat lamp that much. The next thing we try doing is bringing the duckling back to its mother, But... Ashley didn’t accept the baby duck. So we still had the duck in the little nest, and we put it in the sun. And that is working very nice, The duckling has been moving it’s feet and head, and Been yawning and chirping. We where thinking that this Baby Duck was dragged out of the nest by one of Our other ducks. I thinking it was our duck Brownie. Ashley leaves the nest to go swimming in the pool. And Brownie sneaks in and Eats Ashley’s eggs (Yuck!) and 2 months ago, I walked in, and I saw Brownie eating an egg with a Dead almost formed Baby Duck right next to her, and it was NOT pretty to see..! So right now we are separating Ashley from the other Ducks so she can raise her Ducklings in peace. And the duck My family and I saved, We all named Him/her Little Miracle. Little Miracle has been doing better too! And My mother is talking to a duck expert, and The expert said we are doing everything right! Little Miracle has a chance to live!
