Welcome to BYC! Are the captives raised? It's illegal to take wild wood ducks from the wild. Answering your question, it would depend on how many ducklings there are. I usually use a tall plastic tote box for the first week or so. They can jump and climb very well and will escape.

Welcome to BYC! Is the egg developing? If it's wild you'd probably be better off to turn it over to an experienced wildlife rehabber. I raise wood ducks and they do better if you have another duckling in with them that can teach them how to eat. Otherwise, live mealworms cut in half work well.
