how to tell a ducks age

[duckmom19]

the lady I bought her from said her and her brother were 1 year old. I don't think they are. she looks more like a duckling then a 1 year old...my moms friend told her they are only a couple of weeks

How would you?...Best wishes ....What are you feeding it?...It will need proper feed..Water to dunk its head in to keep its nares and eyes clear and possibly niacin so it does not fail..

Your a good Mom..Although it will need another Duckling...Ducks are social and suffer without friends..A mirror will help with it learning to separate from you until you get another Duckling..

Get her Brother Back...They are bonded and do not understand you separating them.....Ducks are smart Birds.......They would be happier together..
