Can I let my 3 week old duckling swim?

Mine too. They love the water.

My momma duck had hers in the water when the youngest ones were barely HOURS old. As soon as the hatch was done, she wanted a bath and they followed her in!

They can still get waterlogged if they swim too long, but I noticed the ones that I brood inside get soaked much quicker than the ones momma broods outside.
