[CHICKENS-101] Help !! Question I need answered asap .....

 

I now have 3 ducklings.  First hatched yesterday evening and 2 sometime overnight, and at least one more egg is pipping right now.

 

I just realized that I've simply been feeding the ducks as I feed the chickens ... a mix of layer pellets and scratch.  Doesn't sound much like "duckling" fare to me ... so what do I get for them?  And should I do as I do with chicks from the incubator and dip their beaks so that they'll learn how to drink?  Or will mom take care of that?  I know enough not to give them medicated feed but should I run and get non-medicated chick?  Game bird?  Mash?

 

Any advice (asap!) will be much appreciated.
