Mallard Duck Picture -
breeders, photo
These birds have a rather high reproductive range and can breed as yearlings. Males usually leave the hens soon after mating occurs, but in some species, both parents participate in raising the young. There are usually 9-13 eggs in a clutch. Right after hatching, the hen leads the ducklings to water and doesn’t return to the nest. Older and more experienced hens have lower duckling mortality than yearlings. Birds of this family can be found in a wide range of habitats close to water sourses. The mallard duck picture can be found on breeders sites in the photo section.
