How can I tell how old my ducklings are?

[Skiptonius]

We have 2 ducklings that we got at the end of the county fair. They were swimming in a pool about a foot deep, and although it was very hot out they were provided a heat lamp. Our ducklings do not have the start of any mature feathers, but I can tell that they are not 'newborns' if you will. Is there a way I can tell how old they are? How old are ducklings when they start to get their mature feathers? Any help will be greatly appreciated

Different breeds can mature faster and slower- but somewhere between 3- 4 weeks is a good guess without seeing them.

Do you have any pictures?
Most domestic breeds (campbells, cayuga, harlequins, pekins, etc) will start to feather at about 5 weeks old.

I took this picture yesterday. I know one is a mallard (Peepers) and so far I think the other one may be a Khaki Campbell (Glen).

I would also go with 3 to 4 weeks.

Does anybody know the age of my duckling?

Can anyone help with the age of my duck? When we got her we were told she was 4.5/5 months old, but even though she has her white feathers her wings were stumpy when we got her and over the last few weeks she now has fully feathered long wings.

@nana123 Maybe 2-3 days at the most.. What a cutie pie.

Possibly around 12-14 weeks.

How old do you think my little Ellie is? This was taken a little over a week ago when we bought her from Rural King. I want to know how old she possibly is to know how to take care of her the best I can. (New duck parent)
