Found these babies!

[ssgreer1]

Found 1 tiny duckling (I think) in our garage & what I am guessing is his sibling on my front porch. Any ideas what they are? Webbed feet. Look like our Roens (sp?) that we bought at TSC about a month ago. Not a very good pic but didn't want to handle them

Regular chicken egg for size compare

Wild mallards . There mothers probs been killed and they are orphaned. I found four last year. 1 was ill so we had to cull it but the other three grew up nicely. 2 flew off and the other one has not yet but probably will soon

Im guessing it is a baby woodduck. Get a close up pic.

They keep jumping straight up on Rubbermaid tub wall. My little Roens(sp?) never tried to jump out of tub

I would find a wildlife rehabilitator. They may be wood ducks. They need specialized care, I would think.

From all I have read they really do need special care, I would post this in the Ornamental thread right below this one and get opinions about how to take care of them.

I think they're wood ducks. Sometimes, it's hard getting them to eat, so you may have to work with them or show them how to eat. Otherwise, I would find a wildlife rescue to take care of them.

They look like mallards. I have had mallard ducklings before and they were identical to this
