    You need to put them on a propper pond or lake and feed them regular! Must be somewhere suitable in your area!

    What u need is a pen build over a slow flowing stream or clean drain make sure the mesh goes under the water and there is no way for the duckling's to get out and more impontant any thing to get in fox mink gray crow etc. and make sure they have plenty of dry ground to sit on . best would be one fifth water 4 fifth's water. Good luck with them.
