Kiddie Pool
How old does a baby Mallard duck have to be before it can go in a pond, or kiddie pool?
I have a baby Mallard and he always climbs into a small water bowel that I have for him. Would it be alright if I put him in a kiddie pool? He's very small. I found him on the street without his mommy, and he was going towards a very big street. I've been feeding him bread and I've been wondering if he'd like getting into some water where he can maybe swim.
Hi,
It will be better for the duckling not to swim in large amounts of water until he/she has got their feathers, this can be over 8 weeks old by then.
The reason is, before the feathers have fully grown, their oil gland (at the base of their tails) has not fully developed and their feathers will not be completely waterproofed.
In the wild, a mother duck will pass her oils to the ducklings, so they are then water proof.
