My husband has a co-worker who found several eggs in her yard. They put them in an incubator and hatched the baby ducks. These three are the only ones to live. She decided to give them away and my husband brought them home this afternoon.
I went and bought a little swimming pool for them. They tried to get out in the beginning because they seemed to be afraid. It didn't take long before they started enjoying their cool environment. We had them outside in the chicken yard to see how Pearl our hen would react. She started clucking like I'd never heard before. She was a bit uneasy but didn't seem to mind after a while. We let them out of the pool and followed them around the yard for a few minutes. They all stayed together as they walked, they are so cute. They will be in with us tonight in a large pet taxi. We'll probably allow them to slowing adjust to being outside. Now it's time to build a duck house.
Isn't he/she cute? Does anyone know what kind of duck this is? I picked up a Backyard Poultry Magazine at Tractor Supply today and saw a picture of a Rouen. It looks the same.
