Just got Ducklings and need help with possible age......

We just bought two ducklings this past weekend and I know a lot seems to depend on how old they are.....we were not told the age where we got them and I would love if someone could give me an idea what age they might be. Thanks!

They look about a week old to me. Definitely not older than two. Very cute! More pics would help

Thanks! I will try to get more, they do not make it easy though.

They never do! Little quackers are constantly on the move, lol. If they still have the egg tooth on their bills, you can be positive they are only a day or two old at the most. But these two look a little older to me. But not by much.

Based on how little they are compared to your hands I would say they are less than a week old.

Thanks for your help. I have small hands so that means they are pretty young then.....

Here are two pictures to give you an idea of the difference between three-day olds and a week old WH duckling.





As you can see they grow very fast.

Thats great news. I am anxious to find out what sex both of ours are. How soon can we expect to see the signs for that?
