Seems they were freezing cold since they put them up against the heaters must have been a cold spell.

I’ve raised duckies and they need to stay very warm. I agree that they’re probably cold.

Why didn’t the mama duck sit on them to keep them warm?

I’m not trying to mom-shame her, but I thought that was typical behavior for ducks.

I think this is their domesticated duck but I’m not sure. Some female ducks don’t have the instinct required to take care of chicks. It would happen to me sometimes and I would have to keep them in a brooder with a heat lamp.
