  1. Within 24 hours of hatching, the mother duck should march her babies to the water. Sometimes, she will take them as much as a mile away from shere they hatched. Wild ducklings will always stay with the mother because they stay in the flock they were born into. Ducklings are self-sufficient after about 12 weeks If you have water (pond, lake, stream) on your property, the ducks could stick around until autumn.
