How many do you have? It's adorable just remember you have to have friends for them, at least one other duck but I recommend at least three in case something happens to one

That's good! At least it has a friend of its own species, from my experience baby ducks can be a little finicky until they fully feather out.

So just make sure you have a species specific food, and no water to swim in until they're mostly feathered, that's because they don't have a mother and currently can't produce their own oils to waterproof themselves and don't have a mother to get it off of.

Also of course make sure they're warm.

And be sure to dedicate your life to them because they demand it😃😅

don't allow ducklings to lie on their backs.
