    Free range ducks- How far do they roam?

    Thanks everyone. Sounds like they will just have supervised outings at least for the first while.

    duckling nibbles?

    we have hatched out 12 ducklings, only one needed and got any help, and that is the only one who nibbles like crazy. When he snuggles into my neck, hair, or hand he just goes crazy with nibbles.
