We’ve had our mallard ducklings for a little less than two weeks and they’ve already more than doubled in size. At this rate they will outgrow their brooding box very quickly. It will be several weeks before they are ready to be set loose, so we will need to build a new enclosure soon.
If the top of their box is left open, some of the more courageous ducks will take the opportunity to try and jump out.
Our nephew helped feed the ducklings a special treat of shredded lettuce, which they seemed to enjoy.
Looking closely you can see their tail feathers beginning to grow in.
One of the ducklings is noticeably smaller than the others. Our niece picked the name “Little-Dude”, which fits it’s very well.
