Hatched ducklings with broody hen

[duckies4ever]

My duck is a first time mother. And she seems to be neglecting it every since i touched it. My drake keeps running from it. Is this normal? And could you guys tell me the dos and donts with the ducklings.

Im sorry I don't know loads about ducks but if you touch of hold the duckling the mother should become a bit more aggressive as it is protective. However ducks do not abandon their duckings after a human touches them, your duck should go back to normal soon, it is probably just wanting some space.
