    What's wrong with this ducklings beak?

    This little guy is the only one who hatched out of 9 eggs.

After being pipped externally for almost 2...

    When can ducklings begin having short, supervised swim time?

    I recently got 2 ducklings! They are really young... Like just under 3 days old! So they obviously do not have their adult feathers or the oil that they need in order to not sink immediately. I was not planning on letting them swim yet, but for future reference... when is it ok to let baby ducks...
