Best answer:

Answer by stulisa42
I’ve raised Pekins and they usually have a good amount of feathers by that age.Are you sure they are 10 weeks old? They will be fine in a cage or even a cardboard box with a heating pad under one end. Just under one end though, so if they are too hot, they can move to the cooler side. If they are outside, make sure the cage etc is covered and protected from the wind and rain.

However, in recent days Daphne (the missing duck) and Darcey our other mallard were flying too and from the forest beside our house, last night Daphne didn’t return. Unfortunately she may have been taken by a predator, however, one of our aylesbury ducks is currently nesting at home, is it possible that a mallard duck might prefer to nest in shrubs or trees & might disappear while nesting?
