Things i have noticed watching mama and ducklings, they don't need much heat it's 60* right now and they are playing in the water and mud she does take them inside everyonce in a while to warm up under her. I have let both my drakes and gander out with them and all are behaving, gander even seems very tender towards them, I would never go off and leave them all together, i am watching like a hawk [and we all know what that means. ]

They're so cute!

Thank you! I'm in love

just to see her doting on them is heart warming. and one of the ducklings backed down my EE pullet today wish i had had the camera for that one, course it didn't know mama was right behind it at the time. lol

I've never seen a feed store offer Muscovy ducklings, alot of ducklings look alike when very young. Have you posted pics of yours?
