You should go to somewhere like Petco or Petsmart and ask them about it. They're professionals there and they can help you figure out these things. Maybe check the yellow book for some help on it. Good luck, I love baby duckies :P Oh and think about when ducks raise their own offspring by themselves in the wild, i don't think they'd harm them.

I raised a couple of ducks too. If you notice that parents are with their young in the wild, you don't have anything to worry about there. I do not remember what I fed them but sure that the pet store can put on you the right path. I am thinking some sort of pellets.

No.
Just make sure that they are in a Predatore Proof Pen.
Make sure that they have lots of food, and that they are not in a place where they can be harmed by the Heat or by the Cold or Drown in Water.
ADD: Hello! These are her pets!
Not wild animals!
Do you not understand this?
Gosh, not all duck breeds are Wild!

Not usually, unless the drake is unaccustomed to them, but if he was around during the whole hatching thing they'll be ok. Now you just have to feed them and provide them enough water to fool around in. Their growth will pretty much take care of itself.

its illegal to own wild ducks withut a permit. I HAVE RAISED MANY BEFOR AND USUALLY HAND RAISED ONES CANNOT BE RELEASED WITHOUT BEING extremely friendly and somtimes annoying. to the public. TAKE THYEM TO YOUR LOCAL WILDLIFE CENTER :]
