When Should You Take Away Ducklings From Mother?

[RogueRubbDuck22]

Hey guys, so I decided to let my khaki campbell sit on a batch of eggs and she hatched 7 of them. I am college like an hour and a half away from her and home and I have a person who wants to take the babies off my hands. I am wondering when I should take the babies away from mom and how without causing any of them a lot of stress? I don't want the mom to stress about losing her babies randomly and I don't want the babies to be too young to take away from mom. Is it a good idea or should I wait until they are around a month old?

You can take the babies away whenever is most convenient for you. They will be distressed for a day or two after being separated but they will quickly adapt and be fine.

Ok thank you! I just didn't want to stress any of them out.

It depends on if the person who is going to raise them wants to provide heat ect. That young ducks require. Ducks form bonds and it will take the mom a bit to adjust when ducklings are removed, but she will adjust quickly.
