Female ducks: With their babies

One thing I've always wondered - if a domestic duck goes broody and is allowed to incubate naturally and there is no pond on the farm, what do the ducklings eat? I would love to let one of my ducks hatch out her own brood, but knowing the nutritional requirements (especially vit. B & niacin) I don't see how they would be able to forage enough food to grow. Thoughts?

There is not a lot out there for ducks and for those of us who are just learning it just makes it harder. Thanks for the article.
