Duckling nibbling me

[MochaDuck]

is it normal for my duckling to nibble on me? What's she doing?

Thy don't have arms and hands so they use their mouths to check things out what is yummy to eat what isn't.

all of the above depending

I hope mine do it as affection

Ducklings learn by touch like all babies do. Everything to the mouth.....Normal and it's up to you to teach right and wrong noodling just like with puppies that bite..

She isn't hurting me when she nibbles me, it just tickles me.

If you keep them close to you, they will grow up to be affectionate and tender.

They are nibbling you and each other, you are part of the family!

mine still nuzzle into my hair when I am on the same level as them.

It is affection, same as when a kitten licks you the way it's mom washes him. Ducks groom the ones they love.

Chicks and ducklings always bite my neck, I call it love bites. They always seem to find a freckle/mole.
