Baby ducks, also called ducklings, are tiny versions of adult ducks. These little feathered birds begin their lives fluffy and cuddly, even when they are two to three days old.
Baby ducks have soft, glossy feathers that vary in color depending on the breed. When healthy, ducks have soft, shiny feathers that give them a smooth look – perfect for petting!
They have short wings with a wide body shape and a long tail feather that drags behind them as they walk. Their legs are short and stout, which makes them appear almost comical when walking.
Ducklings also have an impressive array of facial expressions, including smiling at their owners or scowling when angry, which is hilarious and endearing.
