Hello everyone, I am just curious if anyone has seen a duck sleep like this. Beaker, a male mallard, is about a month old, and ever since he was a day old. he sleeps with both legs stretched out behind him. I think it is adorable I just have never seen this before haha

Welcome to BYC!!

Yep, many of us duck lovers are lucky enough to have experienced the 'drop dead tired' duckling sprawl, lol... not all do it, but the ones that do seem do it when they're the most relaxed and in the safest places they know...
 
That makes sense. I have noticed that his feet have been really hot. I live in VT and it's been 80-90 degrees. I had to bring in a fan for him because he was panting a lot. Thank you!
 
Oh bummer, I may be getting a pekin soon. A friend can't take care of him anymore :/, but I am so excited!
 
Have fun with that
