Need quick duck help asap!!!

[TLWR]

Mallards don't lay tons of eggs, but they are also one of the smaller duck breeds. I have runners that are a bit bigger and a welsh harlequin that is bigger than the runners.
Without supplementing light, I get basically an egg a day from each of them from late winter until early winter. If somebody starts molting, they stop for a bit, but I get eggs. Plenty of them.

I dont need an egg a day with all the other birds we have lol!!

As long as they grow up, lay eggs where i can hatch some every year and run around quack and swim ill be happy lol

These 4 chicks are a little skiddish though... they arent as tame as i would like... hopefully picking them up and petting them will tame them down... i want to be able to hold them and feed em by hand when they are grown...

They love running, swimming and quaking. Just spend a lot of time with them and talk to them it should help them get use to you and be more tame.
