How old are my ducklings?

[Lhickok1104]

Hello everyone! Just want to get an idea on how old my ducklings are. I got them from tractor supply and they didn’t even know the breed of duck, let alone how old they were

TIA.

Probably only a few days to a week old. I believe they are pekins

Yes, I agree ^ ^ pekins, but 2 weeks old. The photo is our last year pekins ducklings at 1 week old

Yours are so cute!

I agree- 2 we old Pekins! Here are my ducks when they were 2 weeks old for comparison:

These were ours at 2 weeks and maybe a couple of days, drying off after wading pool time in the garden

Thank you! They are so much fun. I would agree with two weeks but I have had them for 3 weeks now

Ours seem to be a little bigger and getting LOTS of white feathers. Sorry I guess the pictures didn’t show how big they are lol

Their chest pin feathers look to be just coming in. That start happening around 3 weeks. So they are not that much older than 3 weeks.

These are Saxony, but they all follow the same time frame.

3 weeks

4 weeks

Our ducklings at three weeks -- in the wading pool and again drying off after wading pool time: true water babies!!
