Hey everyone!

My name is Ashley and I recently moved to central Ohio. I've wanted to raise ducks for years now but I've lived in pretty populated areas (Chicagoland, dfw) so I never really had the space I wanted for my pets.
Now that we are further out from the big cities I have gotten two ducklings. Our family is super excited to have them and they have been great so far. I'm sure I'll be on the duck forums with questions since I'm a bit new to everything.
A little bit about us... We are a younger family and our son is a toddler. I also have two cats and a Flemish giant rabbit. We have waaaay too many hobbies(mostly my husband's) including archery, bonsai, anything nerdy, prepping, crafting, and so on.
Anyways, I'm super excited to be apart of the community! I am looking forward to some great advice and suggestions.
I attached a few pictures of them currently (as well as one of my rabbit tongue.png). Does anyone know what age they may be? I've had them for 2 weeks. I could also use some socializing tips. I try and play with them daily as well as let them swim in the tub. They don't seem to like me touching or holding. They will let me pet them while they swim and play in the water. I was thinking about feeding them peas for treats but I'm worried they are too young.
