Yes, don't bother them and they'll fly away when they're older.

Plus; NEVER EVER FEED THEM BREAD.

It's the single biggest killer in all wild ducks, feeding them is killing them!

Just like when you see the "Please don't feed the bears" signs, wild animals should never be fed. That includes WILD ducks.

It's bad for any kind of duck, wild or domestic, or the domestic ducks people "release" to the wild. Note the fact that they are DOMESTIC ducks, and can't live in the WILD. WILD ducks can live in the WILD; but DOMESTIC ducks can only live in DOMESTIC settings. They have been bred for centuries to be fatter for human consumption, and shorter wing spans to reduce fly-aways in the domestic farm/backyard setting. Plus, they have 'odd' coloration compared to wild ducks. White is a dead giveaway to a predator.

you are aloud to shoot as many ducks as you want as long as they are the correct species e.g. mallard and they are in the correct season to shoot. I've shot 231 mallard ducks back in October 2010 with my shotgun it took me 1.5 days .

A mother duck laid her egg and then just walked away from the egg is there anything you can do to help the egg?

The egg will be fine, the mother duck will come back and lay more eggs. Leave the egg alone and check it every day for a few days to see if there are more eggs. If there are more eggs, the mother duck plans on sitting on them before too long. Keep track of the nest and in about 28 days after the duck starts sitting on them,there may be ducklings.but if you do want to help the duck egg try hatching it yourshelf there are many thingsnyou can do to help save the egg the most relible think is going to duckeggs.com or you can buy an incubater to hatch the egg...


How long does it take for a chick to pip?

We just had a chick that hatched tonight, it started peeping as it was still hatching. Added: It depends on the chick. This morning I had a chick pip a small amount and now it is 4:00 in the evening. It is barely really starting to pip the egg. Another chick that was hatching this morning just came out of the shell about an hour ago. I was worried the little one didn't make it or something. But everything seems just fine.

Can humans touch baby mallard ducklings?

Ask anyone who breeds ornamental waterfowl in captivity... If the parent is close-by, she will probably go nuts, even fly at you and deposit a smelly present on you, but otherwise it is fine to touch them EXCEPT that they may scatter in fear and in dense vegetation may get lost.


I have a duck hunting themed grooms cake - should I use a small mallard duck or a wood duck to sit on top?

If you are asking which of the two you should use, either of them would be fine. If you are asking if you should use one of them at all, then again, either of them would be fine. Just make sure it isn't so large that it overpowers the cake. A grooms cake should represent the groom, or the interests of the groom. So if your fiance likes to duck hunt, this would be an excellent choice for the cake. But again, make sure the duck isn't so large that it's overpowering, which would actually detract from the cake.
