How far away is Dr Pol?!

Thank you! I am still new here so I completely forgot to look for the question already asked and answered.

We got our little ducklings 6 weeks ago. They were tiny - small enough to hold one and half ducklings in one hand. So we are (wild) guessing they were about a week old when we got them. They have lots of feathers now and are crazy big compared to 6 weeks ago. We live in SC so it is usually...
