This family of ducks also lives on the distillery grounds, raised by the owners. Their numbers are controlled "by omelette", as one of the guys stated.

Chick crumb is the best food to feed to all foul water foul, you local pet store should be able to get this for you.
I would go for a large bag, they like to eat.
At around 10 – 12 wks old I would put them on mixed corn and greens. Cabbage, sprouts, wild weeds and flowers. No lettuce.
I would give each adult duck 10 sq feet or 3 sq meters. As babies keep them in a rabbit hutch enclosure at night, clean every other day. If it is going to be cold give them straw or hay. They will want hey for laying eggs on when they are adults too.
I use a hard shell children’s pool for my ducks.
I hope this helps… please let me know how the little fellas get along!
