They need about 90 degree Fahrenheit, the first week or so. 2 nd week and on you can lower to 80’s, ect… Not outside unprotected until their backs are feathered out. They need some room to move around. Make sure any water container , they can get out of. A chicken starter crumble will work. Or hard boil eggs and chop them up, add tiny chopped green food . Maybe. Like chickens, they can eat a variety of stuff, chopped up bugs or worms would give them a good range of nutrients. You don’t need fancy stuff if you use common sense. They are messy. Don’t put them in ponds or tubs to swim , until older as they don’t have oil on their feathers from a mom… Any type of dog or varmit will kill and eat them, so they need protection from predators. If they are peeping a lot, they are cold, hungry or thirsty. They can survive next to a warm place, cover part of the top of box with a lid if you need to keep them from drafts.,.they are hardier than chickens.

A puppy full of play can really injure a duckling. So you'll have to train the puppy to leave the ducklings alone and learn they are part of his family too.
