Found him swimming in my pool today. :) I got in and picked it up and set it on the ledge for a second and he ran and my mom was scared of him, so it ended up getting thru a hole in the fence and now idk where it is now :(
anyone know what kind it is? or about how old? and if its a boy or girl?
Aww, poor guy! Do you live by a pond/ river/ or lake?? How could he get there all by himself?? :( Looks to me like a baby malard.
i dont really know. there is a lil river somewhat close(i'd hope not, cuz as far as i know its pretty dirty), but idk about ponds, nothing that i've ever seen, unless they're just further back and behind trees and weeds and stuff. I have no clue. He was all by himself, swimming around in my pool.Quote:

I wonder how he got in the pool. Even if his parents were around I didn't think they'd be able to fly or walk up steps at that age? Can they?
i think he looks like a mallard too. don't know about age or sex. he's very cute! i hope you can find him and help keep him safe!
It does look like a Mullard duckling but the feathers dont seem water proof yet and it should be kept warm.
I hope you can find that little duck try putting out some lettace leaves or some boiled choped eggs and hopefuly the duckling shall show up.
Good luck.
Yep he's a mallard. I hope that little baby finds his mamma soon or I hope you can find him!
Awww how cute! I wonder how it got there? hmmmm.....well i hope it gets home ok!
haven't seen it back yet... i feel bad calling it an IT, but idk if its a boy or girl so... ya. isnt the duller colored ones usually girls? or is it still too young to tell by that?
wow, that has got to be the cutest thing I've ever seen! I hope you find it :( Poor thing
I don't know about age (besides that he looks very young) or sex. It has been my personal experience that, in quite a few birds species, the females tend to be duller than the males and some aren't(certain types of peafowl, for example). It sure is a cutie though! :D How could anyone be scared of anything that precious?
I'm a Lacuna Coil fan, too. :o
Aww, its adorable! :D
Male mallards are supposed to have green head and are not as dull as the females, so I have no idea if it's to small to tell. :D Hope you find the poor guys soon. :(
He looks to be a mallord like other's said. My ducks were about that size at one week old. Here is a pic of 2 of my mallords and 1 blue swedish.

Is there anybody around that has a farm??
There really isnt a farm near me. I live near Chicago, kind of but not really. I live in a kinda small town but its not like farmish or anything.
