Explore My World: Ducklings by Marfe Ferguson Delano 

Ducklings are a bundle of energy and curiosity, exploring their world with wide eyes and wobbly legs. As they grow, they learn to navigate their surroundings, discover new sights and sounds, and develop their unique personalities.

Hatching and Growth

Ducklings hatch from their eggs after about 28 days of incubation. They are covered in soft, downy feathers and are completely dependent on their mother for warmth, food, and protection. As they grow, they begin to venture out of the nest, exploring their surroundings and learning to find food and water on their own.

Exploring the World

Ducklings are naturally curious, and they love to explore their surroundings. They waddle around, pecking at anything that catches their eye, and making new discoveries every day. They learn to recognize their mother’s voice and respond to her calls, and they begin to develop their own unique personalities.

Caring for Ducklings

If you’re lucky enough to have ducklings in your life, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure their health and happiness. Make sure they have a warm, safe environment, plenty of food and water, and a clean brooder to keep them healthy. It’s also important to handle them gently and carefully, as their bones are still fragile.

Conclusion

Ducklings are a joy to watch and care for, and their curiosity and energy are infectious. Whether you’re a seasoned duck breeder or just a duck enthusiast, exploring the world with ducklings is an experience you won’t soon forget.
