The info and pictures on this site have helped us enormously. We have just had ducklings from our first incubation hatch out an hour ago, and were in a bit of a tizzy about setting up a brooder. Your photos encouraged us to improvise one, and it is now set up and running. Thanks, you saved us a lot of worry.

thank-you so much! you have helped me out with alot of things!! i have 1 duckling, its mother and most of its siblings got killed by a car and my friend saved this one and gave it to us. she gave it to us coz we have a bantem chicken that would teach the duckling. But there must be a language barrier or some thing coz lucky [our duckling] dosnt seen to understand our chicken. we feed lucky and do all that stuff and our chicken keeps lucky warm at night. lucky is a wild duck so once it is old enough we will set it free at a lake or river. this site has been very, very helpful!! thanks!! :-]

Did I ever thank you for your pages about Ducklings? I hope so, but it may have slipped my mind. My family and I have raised a single tufted duckling together at the end of 2007 and we used your pages and experience to make sure we wouldn't mess it up. Because we knew nothing, absolutely nothing, about ducks or raising ducklings I was happy to stumble on your pages and I used the information where I could. Thanks to your online reports our Lucky is now a proud and strong year-old Tufted Duck female and she lives comfortably with her male partner amongst other kinds of ducks at the great duck pond of a kind hobby-duckkeeper. I have a Dutch page up myself since yesterday (still working on it though) with relevant facts (in dutch of course) for people like us that find a duckling and want to raise it responsibly and are in desperate need of information. Because the more info there is out there, the more chance little stray ducklings may have to survive, in any country. I've added plenty of Lucky pictures too so that people can have a good time there as well. I'm not sure if this guestbook allows links. That's why I write only the address instead. So that you can see for yourself what duckling life you've saved (once more ;)) www.euronet.nl/~igorm/Eendengrootbrengen If you're interested I can send you a Youtube link to a little Lucky movie. Thank you so much. (Better late than never :)) Also on behalf of our Lucky :) Best wishes Frans

I'll be getting ducklings tomorrow and they're so cute! I really enjoyed your site and thanks for the tips and stories. They'll be a few days old only and I was confused as to wether they'd be allowed to swim, so you cleared that up too. I can't wait and I promise to take really good care of them!!! I've even dug a tiny pond outside under the shelter of some tall grasses.

We have a mother duck with 15 ducklings some she has adopted from other nests as the mothers were either killed or for some reason abandoned. She is a young mother and very protective of her extended brood. Babies are only a few days old.

Your website is great. Thank you. We own 10 acres and have been hemming and hawing about what animal we want to start out with. We have recently decided on ducks and are pouring over as much info as possible before we get them. I have a few questions - if you have time to answer. Don't know if this is the right forum. Since you are hatching your own ducklings why aren't you letting them imprint with their mothers? And since we are going to adopt ducklings how old should they be? Why don't they fly away when they are older? What is their life span? If only getting two or three is it better to mix the sexes or get all of the same? If you have the time to respond I would greatly appreciate it, if not I understand and will still follow your site. Thoughts and prayers are also with you - you seem like an amazing and strong person.

Hi, I would like to thank you for making your website. I don't have any ducks yet, but I am hoping to get 3 Pekin ducklings from a near-by place once they have hatched. This is the first time I will be having ducks and I am excited and still a little worried about what we should do. If you could email me, by any chance, that would be wonderful. I tried to email you, but there is this thing that keeps popping up whenever I clicked on the "email me" link. I have some questions about how well you think 3 cats, a Sheltie dog, and the ducklings will get along. Thank you again, for all you have done, and I sincerely hope that Jack gets well. Angeleah

hi there just wanted to let you know that ur webpage was very interesting and very helpful for us, richard had rescued 8 eggs from the farm that he works on,as mum had flowen away, we watched every day as the eggs pipped and eventually our first duckling was born. i called him Donald (not even knowing wot sex he/she was) just seemed appropriate. anyways the next day we had our second ducking (not named this time) lol. and every day after that we would go check on them and sure enough there would be another one. Its been great just watching them preen themselves dry under the heat lamp.i have taken lots of pictures and will hopefully get them uploaded onto the computer. just wanted to say thanks for the information.
