Just cleaned them up, along with their stuff, and took them outside for a bit. All three of them fell into the lake🤣 but I got them out without them freaking out. The weird bump on Ned is gone, so I bet it was just undirected food. Thanks for all of the help everybody! I’ll check back in every...
Also, are they ok to swim now? Like could I take one outside and put it in the lake and watch it carefully? Or do their feathers need t be fully grown for that?
Also, they are still the cutest and sweetest things ever! I’m not quite sure how old they are, but I got them on April 15th, so about a month ago. MY brooder might be getting too small, but I don’t have any bigger boxes. I assume they were about a week old when I got them from tractor supply, so...

Here’s is a comparison between Ned and either Dusty or Lucky(I can’t really tell them apart right now), and im also wondering why Ned’s feathers might also be darker. Both Ducks like to poop and sit in it, but for some reason Ned’s feathers are super dark. I’m very worried about him, so I really...
