Lost duckling

16 years ago

Some people at my husbands work found a two day old baby mallard and called my husband as we have ducks. We decided to have Harley mother it because she is a Roeun and in addition to looking the most like a mallard she is the sweetest one. The baby immediately took to her but Harley just runs away and looks worried that this bit of fluff is following her every where. Is there a technic to getting a duck to mother a baby? All of our ducks are a year old and have laid eggs but never been mothers for lack of a male. We have a buffer who seems way more motherly than the others with her eggs. Should we try her? Thanks!
