Ducks get to about their mature size and with feathers at 8 weeks, but they aren't emotionally mature for a long time after that. It takes them several months for their sex hormones to mature, and at that time they are emotionally adolescents.

If a mallard duck female gets killed when her baby's are out what would happen to the young?

If a female mallard duck is killed while her ducklings are still young, the ducklings will likely struggle to survive on their own. Mallard ducklings rely heavily on their mother for warmth, protection, and feeding until they are old enough to fend for themselves. Without their mother, their chances of survival may be significantly reduced.

How can a baby duck be identified by its markings?

If you are talking about a Mallard, you really can't until after about 9 months or so. We had two baby Mallard ducks hatch and grow up outside our kitchen window. We just moved them to the park near by after mom stopped showing up and they both look like females. As we have read, this is the case until they are 9 to 12 months old. We continue to visit them and they have about 200 new Mallard Duck friends now. They see us walking down to the bank and swim over, there is no mistake about which ducks they are.
