Alright. So far, even the critical respondents have somehow indicated that Mallards love water - A LOT (all while indicating all ducks are the same). That is good to know. I do appreciate that.
I would still like to hear from someone who has raised different breeds of ducklings in a hands-on way and have paid attention to their "baths", feeding, activity level, size, etc. Anyone here can type that a duck is just a duck and they are all pretty much the same but I know that is intellectual sloth and unhelpful.
I am expecting the Mallard ducklings to take to the water more enthusiastically than the average of duck breeds. That helps. I can plan accordingly - which was why I posted this thread to begin with - to be prepared and responsible.
If anyone has useful information that will help me accommodate these ducklings better, I am all ears. You may think I come off harsh - and that's fine. I just don't tolerate wasting anyone's time (including mine). I won't apologize for asking a question and not accepting mindless, critical replies.
