Most people have their lawns sprayed with pesticides so I put out some game bird starter to make up for the lack of insects on the lawns . As I have said , this is very late for a brood of ducklings . The first brood only had one hen ( female ) that survived to flight . The second brood had a hen ( female ) and a drake ( male ) who survived .

Question: What happened to the ducklings after they survived to flight ?
Options:
- After surviving to flight , the ducklings were eventually picked off by various predators .
 - After surviving to flight , the ducklings safely grew to maturity and had many babies of their own .
 - After surviving to flight , the ducklings were killed by a bout of terrible disease .
 - None of the above choices .
