Found these babies!

This last post is correct. As i have already said twice these are mallards. I found some young mallards once and they were just like yours

Speaking from an experience, it kind of looks like a whistling duck...they're almost identical to mallards when they're young. We found one a year ago and thought the same thing. That's a buff Orpington duckling next to him to give you an idea of size. Down here in Texas we have Mexican Whistling ducks, sometimes called Black bellied tree ducks. There's also a Fulvous Whistling duck around here too. Truly amazing ducks! .

.

I was told to never feed my babies worms because they can't digest them. I was also told that Whisper wouldn't survive & that was a year ago.

First time posting, so I'm hoping it's all good!

This is another picture. Not 100% sure on their age, but know they had their feathers in.

Whisper's legs were much shorter when I found him. Now they're much longer than everyone elses.

This morning, they were chowing down on the meal worms and chick starter. Eating and drinking-a good sign!

That's great! I have heard that mealworms are OK for ducklings if the worms are small, so I hope there's no problems with them. But, it's great that they're eating the chick starter, too.

Not whistling ducks. Wrong colour posture size and shape

make sure the starter is not medicated
