That was awesome of you to save these babies. And yes that is quite the twist! Friends of mine that come over always comment how delicious my Leonard looks. LOL

Just shows you have a soft side too nothing wrong with that. Just make sure who ever releases them puts an orange ribbon around their necks so you don’t end up shooting them.

ohyeah their 6 days, 7 hours, and 51 seconds old

theyd require 85 degrees-ish But they will shiver and huddle and look uncomfortable when their cold.

@Miss Lydia do wild ducklings need heat like domestics? ide think theyd be tougher but i dont know

yes they do need heat

they need to be full grown when release If you get in contact with a wildlife rehab they can band them.

Now sure how much af a twist it is, most of the hunter that I know are also great caretakers of nature. Around here, hunters plant many, many acres of wildlife feed plats that not only help the deer population, but also the wild turkeys, geese, bear, gopher, songbirds, etc.
You are a great steward of the plant.
Good luck with your ducklings.

Just got off the phone with the wildlife rehab center in Boise, Idaho. They're able to take the ducklings in. I will try to drop them off today.

Thanks for the help, guys. I really appreciate it.
