Help - duckling escaped into pond.

Hi jo,
Your duckling is probably still cold thats why he/she is still shivering. What you have done should warm him/her up and have you tried offering him/her any food or water? hope this helped

Thanks Chloe & Bonnibean

We are now "cwtching" her to try and get some all round body heat, rather than the hotwater bottle under her, she also has a tin foil blanket, she is looking "perkier" so I am going to offer some food and water now.

Will keep her in a cat basket in the house tonight.

Fingers crossed.
Jo

Hi Jo,
I had a similar incident a couple of weeks ago where my white silkie hen fell into my pond. By the time I had found her she was absolutely freezing and I really thought she wouldn't make it. But, I dried her with my hairdryer and then wrapped her in a towel with a hot water bottle and spent the afternoon cuddling her. She eventually stopped shivering and remarkably is fine now!
Unfortunately a few days later, my baby silkie who was my first hatch wasn't quite so lucky. She fell in and I wasn't at home when it happened.
So, my ducks are going ( today) and the pond is being filled in cos I can't cope with losing hens so unneccessarily. I do hope your duckling is okay!

Good news Jo, hope things are still going well.
