    Where can I buy duck food?

    Baby duck advice - Please help!

    These baby ducks are roaming around the neighborhood. People have been handling them and they are following everyone. Mom hasn't been around for a few days they said. Can they survive on their own or do they need to be taken to a wildlife conservation? I am just seeing them now and I'm worried.
