Question

Ok this might sound weird but my friend found a baby duck in his back yard....i mean this poor little guy was just sitting ther in his lawn....what do we do whit him? We named him biscut but I didn't want my friend to get attatched lol

Answer 1

Biscut. How cute!! haha yeah call a local bird rehab and they will take in the bird. For now, just provide him with some crumbled up bread, and a shallow dish of water. don't try to force feed him either. incase he is dehydrated (which he probably is, sitting on a lawn all day) dip his beak in some gatorade and encourage him to drink.  

Answer 2

If you want to keep it just make sure it has plenty of water and you can buy some poultry mix from a local pet store and keep it in a secure place, away from predators or if you want to get rid of it just call the RSPCA, they'll be able to take special care of it :) Biscuit - Cute name! lol

I hope I've Helped - Good Luck!

Answer 3

I found a baby duck stuck between my shed last year! I ended up raising her and named her koko! But I had the time...So If you don't have the time I would call your local bird sanctuary and ask them what to do. But in the mean time while you have it get a big plastic bin, put those puppy pee pads down and stick a mirror in there and it will be happy! And for food go to your local feed store and get duck feed if you don't have a feed store and as long as your duck is not tramatised they it should it chopped up lettuce and bread. Give it a small (very small they can drown in a bowl and get cold) And if it is realll really small try to find a heating lamp if nota normal lamp will be fine but that is only if it is really small. Also If there are more ducks around try to see if you can find a mother duck with babies and drop it off there and see what happens. The mom will msot likely take the babie back because the babie will follow his siblings.

And as for your friend, well if you keep it a while the duck will get attached to him...my duck followed me everywhere! but if you don't want that to happen, call all the feed stores (or any place that would selll a baby duck) and ask if they have some and go there and buy one to keep it company and when they are big enough you can let them go on a lake (this is what i did because my little duck got lonly when i wasn't with it) so that should work out well.

I hope you find a place for your friends baby duck!
