StephOC 6 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 maybe something like soaked chick crumb? You should be able to find something on Google I'd have thought? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferret15 0 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 chick crumb but it must be unmedicated try local feed store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest manda Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 RSPCA theyd only tell you to f**k off aaron if it aint about a hunting act they coulnt give a flying bollock, my mate rang them 5 time (once every week) to report about a dog being locked and staving to death in a shed and by the time 6 weeks later they finally went out it had died! Thankfully the bitch that made the dog suffer has been banned from keeping animals (dont no for how long) Good luck with the chick and have fun lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiff 36 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 we have ducks and really enjoy them, do as suggested above and feed unmedicated chick feed, always have water for them but don't have the dish big enough for them to soak themselves or they catch a chill without the mom there to warm them, unless it is warm where you are at night.

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 make a small box if you have any hardboad make full circle so the ducklings dont sit in the corner , if you a can borrow or have a heat lamp hang this over the top not to low feed small amount of soaked bread till you can buy some chick feed from farm supply, make sure they have water not to deep so they might get wet and get cold , sawdust on the floor change daily they will thrive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
