I had a scare tonight, when I went out to feed the horses I checked on the ducks and there was a little one stuck in the water and couldn't get out. I could see at a glance that it was in lots of trouble. I ran in and took him out, he was pretty week and could hardly walk. I put him in a sunny spot and kept checking on him. He began to preen a bit and clean himself up. Still had a hard time walking. About an hour later he was snuggled in a cluster with the sibling and mom, and later when I checked I couldn't tell which one it was they were all running about eating like nothing happened.
They have been jumping in and out of the water for several days now, so I wasn't worried I guess this one hadn't and didn't know how to get out. Guess I need to take that out of there until they are bigger. Maybe put some bricks in there for steps to get in and out. I'm really glad he made it.
