Hiya Nails,
One of my runner hatchlings looked like DD for a day or two. He's now bombing round the garden with the others as happy as Larry and with Beau who has now calmed down!!

[Kate and her Ducks]

Oh. Oops! It looks a bit yellow but maybe that is just the picture. Also some of my greys have a lot of yellow down over their grey when they hatch (she says rapidly back pedelling!).

Any how, how's DD getting on...

[Nails]

He is doing well, been swimming again bless him, just goig to take a picture of him, i am really keeping my fingers crossed he will be ok. Bless him

[Nails]

DD




He had just been for a swim when i took these a couple of minutes ago!!!!!!

[Kate and her Ducks]

He looks better already!
Just give him a bit of time and I really do recommnd a bit of sugar or honey water if thy are not eating yet for a boost of energy.

I'm sure he will be great. In my experience, in a couple of days time you won't be able to tell the difference.

[Nails]

Kate do you water the honey down? i will try him on it, he is in with the others, and that seems to have perked him up no end, before he was just laying there.

[Hawkins]

C'MOn DD you can do it weve all got our fingers crossed.

[Kate and her Ducks]

Water the honey down and then give it to him with a dropper or straw with your finger over the end. Be prepared to get wet and sticky!

[Nails]

Update on DD, well can't believe it, gave him some sugar water last night, (By the way Kate he was drinking on his own so no need for droppers) got up this morning and although still a bit wobbly on his feet, he is up and running around with the rest of them, and i actually at first glance didn't know which one he was! So things are looking good.
Thanks for all the advice.

[joyfull]

oh that is good news, hopefully DD will continue to pick up 

[Nails]

Just glad i wasn't to hasty yesterday Joyfull, was going to get hubby to do the deed, but although he will do it, like many he doesn't like killing the babies, and kept saying to me, see how he is in an hour etc and here we are ,he is running around with the others DD that is not hubby lol

[dizzylizzie]

You'll have to change his name now

[Nails]

He will stay DD i think, delightful Duck now, unless any one has any suggestions for th first D!

[joyfull]

Don't worry by the sounds of things he/she will soon be a dashing duck
