Rescued duckling update

[Addeline]

Hi,
I am making a new post about this..

I saw a facebook post about someone who found a family of ducks dumped on the road.. this little guy was injured and couldn't keep up so she took him temporarily... he is all healed up now

So I took him

Ok so i am doubting the breed and color?
seems so dark like a chocolate color
because i have tan and white runners

also advice the adults are being a bit mean to him chasing him a bit.. i probably shouldn't have put them together so soon but he was wanting the big ducks...
I have 3 Hens and 1 drake

also i live in Michigan its 65 degrees one day then 80 the next will that be ok
not sure on age exactly?

He sure is cute as heck❤

Look how dark these are

Can you give him a temporary pen close by where they can visit but not pick on him? If they are being really mean to him? They see him as an intruder. He still has some baby down so I am thinking 4 weeks maybe. But her should be able to take 65* okay. If you look up Fawn an White Runner ducks you can see the color variations from light to dark

Michigan - You guys have only two seasons up there: Winter and Road Construction.
She/he is really cutemakes me want to buy new ducklings right now!
AFAIK, chocolate runner ducklings have black feet, legs and bills, so have the blue and the black runners. Only fawn and white runner ducklings are yellow/orange.

maybe he is just a darker tan and white color then... will know better when he gets more color
