Thank you so much for the link @FunnyfarmMidwest That was an awesome thread! My daughter and I scrolled through it in one sitting! The most memorable was Alice 
Erica said, "I don't want our ducks to go broody. That's funny but I'm scared of her." And that duckling with the gorgeous chocolate eyes 
I believe it was said that it's color was khaki. My my what beautiful eyes! - - - - - - - Of course my daughter's favorite was the butt names That was pretty hilarious!
I've also got a question if anyone has a moment to answer at any time. I've had Purina Flock Raiser Crumbles mixed with nutritional yeast available at all times. Some in its normal dry state and some moistened with water for a mash. Is it necessary to have mash available? They all LOVE the mash but it's making things even more messy than they already are. They get some in their bills and shake their cute little heads nearly every time. There is mash EVERYWHERE. If they need it, that's fine. I've got to clean up anyway. If not, I'll offer it as a treat, with wall protection.
Also, do call Ducks need the same temp amounts as standard size ducks? They stopped using the heat plate fairly soon so I had to offer a heat lamp. Now I find them moving further and further away even though I'm raising it anytime their found moved away from it. It's not a 250w bulb but a reptile lamp so it's not a hot bulb at all. Last year I found the 250w bulb was too warm for chicks so I didn't bring it out for ducks.
Those pictures are so helpful. @WVduckchick and @Conan how long on average do you find that you hold the duckling in this position for it to hopefully work without wrapping? Layla is a crazy busy duck that rarely sits still. Maybe after a bath and preening/drying, this will happen. I'm hopeful. I'd like to take them outside today unless anyone thinks it's a bad idea. Temps should be in the mid to high 70's, at least. They are feathering in really well. I'd say about 75-80% but I am TERRIBLE at estimating. Fuzzy heads and necks with feathers coming in all over. They're 4 weeks old now. Doesn't seem like it!
