It would be very helpful to post a pic of your duckling so we can determine duckling's age.
The younger the duckling the more they will need a source of heat, just like chicken chicks.

If it's wild I would get it to a rescue as soon as you can. Here's some info from the pwp I made:

Thanks. No wildlife facility near by. Took themto the vet yesterday. Because it wasn't injured they let me bring them home. In the time that I sent the last message they've eaten and I think its napping now. I seen his mommy and siblings because he couldn't keep up she left him behind. I waited to see if she would come back but she didn't. There was also a hawk stalking them so I guess she made a tough choice to get the ones who could make it to safety.
