Hi
We put some duck eggs under a broody hen, but only one hatched and due to to the fact that duckling fell out of nest box and was put back with broody who sat on it 50% of time rather than the one who was sitting when it hatched, it now has 2 very attentive mums.
I have a couple of questions; is it OK to leave this threesome as they are or will duck grow up afraid of water and thinking that it is a hen?What is best food for all, should I let the mums eat duck food (although I saw it trying to eat a worm bigger than it is at the moment, so I am not worried about it's protein intake)? And finally would it be possible to introduce duckling back to it's siblings (incubator hatch, now 8 weeks old) and when.
Thanks for answers ( new to ducks, first time hatching this year)
