Rarely, but in some cases yes.
It literally depends on the personality of the duck.
Like humans, some males are more "fatherly" than others.
Some will run away, some will stay. It really depends on
the personality and temperament of each duck.
Some of them do ,but most don't.
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.
They are the most common type of ducks and really interesting. Mallard ducks also behave like any other birds, building cup-like nests made up of grass and leaves. Female mallard ducks usually lay around five to fourteen greenish-white eggs in each clutch, and it's the female mallard that takes care of their ducklings.

Yes they do get along well my mallard and my pekin duck mated and had ducklings.
A male duck is a drake, a female duck is a mallard and a baby duck is called a duckling.
Same as the male, orange.
No.
Ducklings
After hunting and observing them for years, I would have to say no. In species where there is one dominant male to several females, killing the offspring of another male is common. Ducks do not have this sort of sexual hierarchy.
A female duck is called a duck, or, as a female bird, a hen.
All ducks that will grow-up white will start life as yellow ducklings. The beak colour depends on the breed.
Mallard Ducks, Pheasants.
