What do I need to know about releasing mallard ducklings?

Answer by  Jon65 (787)

To be able to release mallard ducklings, one must deduce that they are able to thrive away from their mother. By judging their size, and their ability to swim efficiently, ducklings will be able to thrive in most warm conditions. Do not release ducklings in the winter as the harsh conditions may endanger their chance for survival.

Call your local shelter or forest management, releasing wild ducklings can be dangerous, as other ducks may beat them to death.
