A duck doesn't actually need its mother. You can buy baby ducks that are 1 day old at markets. A baby duck doesn't get milk from its mother or some type of food from its mother, a baby duck just needs its mom to find food for it and protect it from danger. You can actually raise a baby duck from 1 day old to 2 weeks and even 5 weeks old without its mother.

Baby ducks can be separated from their parents as soon as they hatch. In the wild, the parents just protect them from predators and teach them what to eat.

6 or 7 months, because quail start reproducing around April and hunting season for quail starts in October, meaning that they are fully grown by the time you can shoot them dead

They need her for warmth for about 4 weeks depending on the weather and the species of duck. After that the family may slowly break-up and disperse.

Is it ok to take the ducklings from the mother and will you be able to put them back with the mother once she has hatched all the ducklings but separated from the other ducks?

Most of the time if you take the ducklings from the mother they will see you as their mother and follow you around so it might be hard to put them back with her and make them stay with her. So I don't know if I would remove them from her or not You are best off leaving the ducklings with the hen rather than removing them. Especially if you want mom to do the raising of the ducklings.
