Cute little Mallard babies! They look perfectly healthy to me too. My Spring Ducklings had access to food and water 24x7 and while i was asleep they were busy pooping all over the brooder, so that i would not get bored the next day…
The round chest is a sign that they are well fed and should be as it is. They were likely starving when you picked them up.
Even today my ducks have access to food and water 24x7. Ducks don't sleep straight for eight hours, they get up several times during the night and grab a bite, sip a drink - and poop.
Please keep the pictures coming! We all looove duckies!
