I have a friend whose ducks have lived 14 years! Ducks average seven (plus or minus) years.
2nd answerer says: Ducks that are well-cared for can live 20+ years!
Male and female mallards form pairs in the Autumn. In the late autumn, or early spring, the female will nest in a small hollow, often under vegetation by a source of water. The female will lay up to 8-12 eggs, laying one egg a day. She then sits on the eggs for up to 28 days. The ducklings hatch within hours of each other, and once they have rested and dried off, are ready to follow the mother as a group. The male mallard often remains nearby, holding territory. Ducklings remain with their mother for up to 12 weeks. At this age they are fully fledged and ready to fly. Mallards can nest more than once in a spring/summer season. They live up to 5 to 10 years.
Looks like they live about 15 years in the wild, up to 20 in captivity.

Hope that helps!
In general, both the male and female have a dark blue speculum that's bordered by white, and they both have orange feet.
The male mallard has a glossy green head with a white 'necklace' at the base of its neck. Its chest is chestnut in colour and it has grey body plumage. Its tail is black and curls upward and it has a yellow bill.
The female is mottled brown overall and has an orange bill that is splattered with black.
Mallards in captivity live from 11 to 15 years The oldest recorded Mallard duck was 29 years old.
Wild Mallards have much shorter lifespans at an average of 5 to 8 years.
ducks life cycles
A duck can live to be abt 20 years old.
Life cycles are pretty easy to remember, however it is hard to remember the life cycle to every animal. A ducks life cycle begins when it is an egg, it hatches and is a duckling. In time it changes from a duckling, into an adolescent duck, as it's duckling marks fade away, it then grows into a full adult duck. From there, it mates (usually ending with creating fertilized eggs, and another cycle begins), and eventually dies.
how long the life cycle is.how many animals there are.
The life cycle of a Penguin is to mate, have chicks and then die. Then it starts all over again.
they are all the same
Different organisms have different life cycles. The length of a life cycle will depend on the species you want to know about. One life cycle is the time for an individual organism to reach reproductive maturity and reproduce, i.e. produce offspring (children).
yes it does, The egg The duckling The Old duck
Egg, chick, and adult.
how long do lizard live what is their life cycle
a pandas life cycle is about 22 years long
as long as a duck

its long
If it was in the wild the life cycle is from seedling to seedling and that is typically a year...
A duck begins life as an egg. From the egg, it will hatch, and the hatchling is a young chick. As the chick gets older, it loses its down and develops feathers. It is then a fledgling, and when it fledges, it becomes an adult.
4 stages long.
