Hi Crystal, its nice to have you here! What breed of ducklings do you have?

I’m not sure, I just posted my scenario! I rescued them, they swim and dive and I have them in a brooder with non medicated starter crumble and plenty of water. My intention is to release them so I’m trying to figure out how old they are and how to raise to release.

Think it would be best to ask your questions on the "Duck forum," I don't know if they will do well in the wild since, they were rescued and incubated - no mother around to teach them about being a wild duck. Food comes automatically to them now and they will have to figure out how and what to feed themselves.

Welcome to BYC! There’s so many helpful, knowledgeable folks here and I’m sure you’ll find this site a very useful resource. Best of luck with your ducks

Those are mallard ducklings. "Rescuing" baby ducks from the wild is illegal, so watch out!
