Curious Question

[Marlee25]

Is it normal for ducklings a little over 5 weeks old to constantly groom and scratch themselves? I'm new at this, and just want to take all precautions!

Ducks, especially if allowed access to water for swimming, spend a lot of time preening themselves and oiling their feathers.

Thank you so much! I knew this. Blonde moment I guess. Haha!
