When I stepped in to correct my daughter's behaviour I discovered an egg in the pond! It had only a semi formed shell and I think it was SCARED out of her and not a natural occurance, and it has never happened again. One of my Indian Runners, I think, laid in the pond this morning so now I am wondering if this is why I think they are not laying, how many more are there? *************************** Ducks in the wild build nests along the water, in cattails, high grass or even under a tree nearby.

Is it normal for a 2 month old Mallard to dive and swim under water?
Diving and swimming underwater is very normal behavior for a 2 month old duck. Ducks dive in the wild to get food (pondweed, minnows, snails etc.).

This actually strengthens their swimming skills and is a sign of a healthy duck.
