Thanks for your ideas. The boat cockpit has sides that are about 2 ft high, so we could possibly fashion a slide from leftover boat canvas and lower the boat on the lift so they slide into the water. We would need to put them on the top of the slide, and make sure Mama duck is watching so she gathers them in the water. Do you think this might work? Do you foresee any injuries to the ducklings?These Mallards are crazy where they will build a nest on top of building in large cities where good people help the mama and ducklings get safely away once they get down off the roof I saw a video where a man working at a bank watched these ducklings hatch and when it came time to leave he was on the sidewalk and caught each one as they jumped down to the sidewalk you can imagine how that would have turned out if he hadn't helped. Is there any way you can make temporary steps that the ducklings can use to get out of the boat and jump into the water while mama is waiting for them? She'll take them to water right off if she can.
