Update. We are taking a break from putting up temporary coops. We discovered that the 25 we got yesterday like the bathtub. We put just a little bit of water and a bit of baby shampoo and turned the hand held shower on. I discovered I need a bigger tub. I also had watermelon in the fridge and cut it in half and yippee I got them to eat that and some cut up cabbage. Yes I will take photos I know you all love photos.
 
No shampoo or soap it will make them have wet feather. It will remove any oils they have spread over their feathers. Sounds like your making progress we all look forward to seeing them.
 
Thank you for your care! We need that in our communities. Where are you guys located?

Ok, please don't tell me how stupid I am. I had posted a couple weeks ago my flock was very uneven. Yesterday I went to pick up females off Craigslist. I went with the intention of getting 4 females.
I ended up with 25. Ya I'm a sucker.These ducks were all in terrible shape. The people had run out of feed several weeks ago they only had chicken watering containers. That were mostly empty. I was able to get 25 in my car. So that is what I took.
They are in my back room in the house. They are scared of the pool. I washed them all today. They have wet feathers, they won't eat anything. I have been up all night with them. I don't know if I should allow them with my ducks with them being in such bad shape, so they can see how to be a duck.
Also there are about 100 left where I got them from and my husband wants me to go get the rest or call animal control. I really am lost here.

Poor Ducks.....Best wishes......
I just rescued two Ducklings...One was a Wild Teal and the other is a Runner....Wildlife Rehab came for the Teal and I still have the Runner....
Sad that people take on animals and then get tired of them....
