Behavior Questions duckling problems?
Not sure what flair for this so sorry if its wrong.
I only had one ducking last time and tht was 7-8 months ago and before that it was multiple years since I got my other ducks. I'm wondering if this is normal or not. And sorry if I just sound silly.
One of the ducklings only has really really wet projectile poops but the others don't? I'm pretty sure that one is a boy because he is bigger then the other too.
Then one of the girls has been bobbing her head a lot and talking a lot more even when eating. She only started this late yesterday and today.
They are around 2 weeks old yesterday.
I'm wondering if I should be concerned or not???

None of those behaviors sound concerning. Wouldn't hurt to monitor the poop situation, but that one could just be drinking more water. As long as they are eating and drinking normally, I wouldn't worry.
And the head bobbing and talking just sounds like her personality starting to come through. Best thing is just to monitor that everyone is eating/drinking/growing normally, but dont worry to much

Ok thank you!! I just couldn't remember the behaviours of the others
They seem to be eating and drinking fine and sleeping so much better then my single ducking 7-8 months ago as there is 3 of them
As I mm typing this they are all asleep on my chest and it's adorable2

haha i had one that would do a little dance before a poo spray so heavy it almost projected her the other way 😂 at 2 weeks old they’re still just learning to understand how they function as well. for the other it seems like her personality is coming in strong! enjoy this time :)
