Just commenting to let you know I added you. You're more than welcome to add me if you like, if not, that's cool, I just did it cuz I'd like to get to know you better than just through your graphics :)
My school used to try to raise baby ducks, but they would never survive, they always looked like they were healthy when they died. Come to find out, there was an additive in the water softener that they used that was killing the babies off, despite the adults being perfectly fine.
well hello again :) i am always up for meeting cool people
i am afraid that it very well could possibly be something that is put in the water to keep it nice and pretty...there lil systems may just not be able to handle it...there are 3 left now and they seem to be doing ok but i am thinking they look a lil listless today....i hope they are just sad and not sick
If this isn't the first batch that this has happened with, I'd suspect it's something they use in the water, either chlorine, or a softener, or something.
It's quite possible that they are sad from losing their brothers and sisters, hopefully some will be able to survive. :)
we do know for a fact that the seagulls attack them when they are first born...we have seen it...and so do the crows, but these guys are over 2 months old now and getting pretty good sized for predators which is why i am suspecting it could be the water
thank you so much for the help....i always get good advice here on my journal :)
