Pekin Duckling may have lump on chest.

Ducklings don't grow feathers very quickly, but they shouldn't need heat anymore.

Ok. I was wondering when I should remove that, so thank you. Heading home now and will give an update on Ned’s chest.

Ducklings don't grow feathers very quickly, but they shouldn't need heat anymore.

Also, are they ok to swim now? Like could I take one outside and put it in the lake and watch it carefully? Or do their feathers need t be fully grown for that?

 

[Yardmom]

Ducklings of any age can swim. You might not want to put it in a uncontrolled place such as a lake though.

Just cleaned them up, along with their stuff, and took them outside for a bit. All three of them fell into the lake but I got them out without them freaking out. The weird bump on Ned is gone, so I bet it was just undirected food. Thanks for all of the help everybody! I’ll check back in every once in a while.
