I can't see the tail. The first sign of feathering is little whispy changes at the tip of the tail. That usually starts at 2-3 weeks old. Assuming there are no whispy changes on the tail, the duckling is 2 weeks or less.

This is their tail, I’ve already had them for almost a week so they’d definitely be older than that, just curious to know heat wise. They were pretty large when I got them.
