I can only recall the rough estimate for ducks in general, which is ten or more years if they can be kept safe, and can get treated for infections.  I met a blue swedish who was twelve.

 

The average age of ducks is around three to four years, if you include deaths from predators.

Nine beautiful Runners, four beautiful Buffs, thousands of beautiful memories and counting.

 

Looking for ducks?  Please consider adopting rescued ducks.  There are many places and people who do rescues, but we are not allowed to post the links due to BYC regs.  So fire up your web browsers and find some sweet, grateful duckies.

In general larger breeds do not live as long as smaller ones. I think 4-7 would be a much more reasonable life span. I highly doubt many would make it to 12

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?
