Some of the duck egg have hatched I am not sure how many. I seen at lest 2 ducklings. I made sure they had water in shallow plate but what about food ? What do I feed new born ducks ?

things ducks usually eat, slugs, worms, bugs, bits of vegetables, greens. keep moving the pen around to make sure they're getting enough fresh food and that they always have water.

i don't know anything about this though.

did you ever talk to neighbors about having them in their pond?

No wanted to see if eggs would hatch. I can not move pen because nest is right against wall with some eggs that can soon hatch. Going to tractor supply after work

oh, with this heat keeping enough water around for them would be a challenge, just trying to google and things say to not have too deep water at first so they don't drown.
