They can get cold / wet / drowned very easily if given unlimited access to water.

I've had hens bringing up ducklings before without any problems whatsoever, they were looked after very well. The only problem was the frantic mother when the ducklings started swimming in the pond!! :roll:

I had no problems at all. The 'mother' is a brahma....a very gentle breed....perhaps that's why? I don't really know but she has been a brilliant mother.
