Is it normal....

Went home on my lunch and took them outside. They were a little overwhelmed at first, but then they noticed all the weeds and bugs in the grass and started snacking.

Can ducks be trained to use those nipple waterers like chickens?
I came across a nipple waterers for chickens, and am wondering if ducks can be trained to use them? I realize I have to put out another source of water for cleaning and dipping their bills in. I just thought this would work for keeping drinking water clean.
