Help mommy duck died and had eggs

11 have hatched one is still trying another has a smell peek in it. Any recommendations now would great. I have the flock raiser food for them. Should I get the a different water dish.
Yeah, I would make a waterer for them. They have to be able to rinse their nostrils out. You want them to be able to stick their heads in, but not swim in it.
@Miss Lydia do you have a pic of one of your waterers?
 
These work great.

So we have this water dish right now. But I know we will have to change it soon. We also let them play in a pool with warm water . Also should I change the food dish. I tried a container with water and they just jum in it

Super cute. The food dish is just fine. Try to make the waterer, because if they can't rinse their nares they can get respiratory illnesses that could take them all out fast. And be careful letting them swim. Their oil glands don't work yet so they aren't water proofed. In the wild the mom preens them with oil from her oil gland. I don't let my ducklings swim until they're at least 2 weeks old.
