Additional information:

Ducks are waterfowl, and letting ducklings go into the water can promote their activity and increase their food intake. Therefore, they should be trained to go into the water 5 days after hatching.

First, put in a "small amount of water", and the temperature should not be too low, and the depth should be deep enough to wet the duck's feet, twice a day, each time should not exceed 10 minutes; then gradually increase the water depth and time. When should the ducklings go into the "big water" (river, pond, etc.)
