Question

How old in weeks are ducks fleather out. So they can start swiming in a kiddy pool?

Welcome,
I put my ducks in the pool (supervised) for an hour or so at about a week old. Longer as they got bigger.


I put a few landscaping stones in the middle of the pool just above the water level so they could sunbathe (and rest) if they wanted to.

Here is what they look like after about 6 weeks:


Not fully feathered, but close. I think it was about the 4 week mark that you notice the feathers coming in. Some breeds mature slower than others however.

Enjoy,
Rich
