How far will a mallard be able to take her brood she hatched where it is not near water?
A mallard hen typically leads her brood to water shortly after hatching, as they are aquatic birds and rely on water for feeding and safety. If there is no water nearby, she may attempt to travel a few hundred yards to find a suitable habitat, but this distance can vary based on the availability of food, shelter, and safety from predators. However, the absence of water significantly limits the brood's survival chances, as ducklings need to be near water to thrive.

How smart are mallard ducks?
I have raised mallard ducks for many years now and I have observed them of having considerable intelligence. They can identify and return to familiar geographical areas, respond to voice commands, and have many ways of communicating with each other. If you look at a mallard duck's head, its skull is larger than that of most birds, so you can assume that it has more space for a brain. This is the same with most waterfowl I believe.
