Title: 3 duck mums - only 1 smallish safe house HELP
Post by: northfifeduckling on August 18, 2013, 07:38:46 am

I' m trying to organise the imminent birth of more ducklings. The first of 3 sitting ducks has done it already, the teenagers are about to move out of the safe house. Can 3 mums go into the same house once they will walk with theyr mums or will the first mum look after the other babies, too? Slight panic moment here! they started sitting when I was away and I did not expect them to persist. Or has anyone a floor level rabbit cage or hen house with safe run we could borrow for a few weeks??? :&>

i've got a couple of dog cages you are welcome to use - not sure how suitable they would be though.
