This is a toughy. It should eat the food, make sure it has water. It is illegal to keep wild ducks, but who's to know it isn't the baby of a domesticated duck. It'd be great if you could post a picture so we can help you with this.

It will probably eat the geese or chick starter. Make sure the food is safe for ducks (certain medicated kinds are not good for ducks). If possible, call a wildlife center to see if they will take it if it's a wild type of duck like a mallard. It will keep you from getting in trouble and it will be beneficial for the baby. If it's a muscovy or domestic type, you should be able to keep it with no problem.
