duckling nibbles??

Why do my 3 day old call ducklings nibble on my hand? we are new to ducklings....trying to figure out all this duckling behavior!! so adorable!

Well, they don't have any hands to touch stuff, so they use their bills to investigate everything and make contact. It's very normal! They will bill each other, and anything they find, or are interested in learning about.

I consider it very affectionate.
