Breed of ducklings

It isn't important to put the ducks into the water, but it is important to have water deep enough for them to dunk their heads in. If you can find a container with a lid and cut the lid just so they have room to put their head in, that should be good for them.
These are not my pics, just ones I found when I did a search. They should have access to drinking water and food 24 hrs until they are around 7-8 weeks old (most likely fully feathered by then). Do you feed the chickens anything other than rice?

Ok. My suggestion is to find some sort of feed for either chickens, ducks, or even birdseed - something more than just cracked corn - if you can.
Your ducks probably need some protein in their diets (your chickens could use some too). Do you have access to any type of fish? Do they get a chance to be outside to forage for insects and grubs?

Fish yes but we are far from sea and they are a bit expensive.so we prefer to eat them . But every day about 1 hour they go to garden.i make it vet and they eat worm and gurbs.

Dig under rocks and such, you should be able to find them some good protein. Might halve to become a bug catcher. ;)
