Hi Paul
 
Denis Wilson here (from Robertson these days).You know me from other circumstances, in Aranda.
 
I would be curious to see your photos of 17 ducklings.
You can send as individual email, not group, to avoid difficulties of re-sizing.
 
With Ducks generally, the duties of parents are largely restricted to teaching and baby-sitting, as the little ones feed themselves.
 
Its probably not quite as burdensome as looking after 17 helpless and dependent passerine chicks (or, arguably, one Koel baby) - as we hear in Ainslie.
 
Cheers
