I'm not sure how much of their behavior is instinct because I've read that they must watch other ducks eat before thy know how to.
Because when the eggs hatched the first thing that it sees that moves the duckling will follow them.
Ducklings
As soon as they hatch ! Baby birds imprint on the first thing they see when they come out of the egg. Their natural instinct tells them the first creature they see should be their mother.
yes, ducklings are cuddly, and cute!!!
Ducklings have adaptations such as down feathers for insulation, webbed feet for swimming, and a keen sense of hearing to detect predators. They also have a natural instinct to follow their mother closely for protection and guidance.

Just ducklings.

Newly hatched ducklings actually do not have feathers.
The mallard ducklings are probably not pure mallard ducklings. The female mallard probably mated with a pekin duck, which are the big white ducks, Pekins are yellow as ducklings.
Only the females will accept Cayuga ducklings, and if she has ducklings of her own, and the ducklings that you have aren't part of her family, she will most likely just peck them away from her and her babies.
