Baby mallard ducks, or ducklings, typically start flying when they are around 2-3 months old. This varies depending on the individual duckling and environmental factors, such as food availability and predators. Ducklings usually develop their flight feathers and skills gradually, starting with short flights before becoming able to fly longer distances.
Young mallards have all their flight feathers at about 10-12 weeks of age, they have usually been practicing their flapping before this, to build up the muscles used in flight.
