Can someone help me please.....

Can someone tell me how old our ducklings are?! They were purchased from tractor supply on 04/13/19 and the sales girl told us she wasn’t sure how old they were.

The first two pictures of my daughter holding them are the day we got them
And the last two pictures of them in their brooder were taken on 04/20/19 one week later.

2 weeks I would guess. They get their little tail feathers around three. Very cute.

THey sure are precious things. They look to be about 2 weeks old in the 2nd set of pics - probably a week or less when you purchased them. You could always call the store and find out when the shipment came in - they usually arrive at the stores being 2-3 days old.

Thank you both so much!

If the feed store had just gotten them that week, chances are they hatched the Monday before you got them.

I would say close to 2 weeks also, around 3 weeks you start to see different types of feathers growing in, starting with the tail.
