How old are my ducklings

[adalberty]

Hi, i found three mallard ducklings 6 days ago. I was waiting for their mother but she didn't return with them. I am new with ducklings. How old are the ducklings? Is niacina neccesary for duklings? I would like to release when it is possible. Could you give me advices? I took the picture today. Can the pink dot in its beak tell the age?

They are quite young.

Being wild malards I am not 100% sure but I do think they are birds a wildlife rehab facility would be well equipped to raise for relase. Call your animal control office to get the number for wildlife rehab in your area.

1 and 1/2 weeks or so, I agree with @21hens-incharge .
