Question about Ducks

Most ducks are taken away from their mother eventually. If they are ducklings, it's best to keep them with the mother because she knows how to raise them better then any human, but if you need to take them the ducklings will be fine.

Thank you I was just wondering because at pet stores they also have baby duckings.

Most likely at petstores they aren't healthy. If you are going to get them anywhere, I would get them at a place that breeds ducks and then incubates the eggs and once they are born they will give them to you. Those ducks are usually pretty healthy. You can look in farm ads in the newspaper and they usually have a couple buisnesses.

Okay. But what about from the wild, would that be cruel

[dab_20]

I think it would probably be cruel to take wild ducklings from there mother in the wild.

I wouldn't suggest ducks, from my expeirence of spending tons of money. They stink really bad, there hard to tell their sex when their babies so you might end up with four males like I did. They can get really aggresive. What do you want them for? Pets, meat, breeding, eggs???
