Hi my Muscovy duck had 8 ducklings but three died cause I don't think they are eating what can I do to get them to eat
 
How old are they? Is the Momma taking care of them or are you? If they aren’t eating have you tried wetting their feed into a mash so it’s easier for them?
 
They are two days old and the mom is looking after them I wet the food but they just ignore it but they drinking water
 
If it were my ducklings and they were dying, I would separate Mom and ducklings from everyone else if you haven’t already. Then put some vitamins in their water so it’s their only drinking choice. And maybe purée some mealworms and water in a blender. See if they will eat it.

Start looking for the ducklings that’s are just sitting around instead of playing. It will be really important for them to start eating something or they will likely die also. Just keep trying things until they eat.
