How Much food should 4 ducklings be eating?

[DuckWild]

My new ducklings arrived on Wednesday. I am a first-time duck owner. They are 6 days old now and don't seem to be eating much. They are nice and active and are growing and drink a lot but hardly eat much at all. Is this to be of concern?

No worries. They will pick up their eating as they grow.

What are you feeding them? Are you serving it wet or dry? Ducks prefer everything wet.

Their eating has definitely picked up the past two days. They are eating lots of feed now and I give them each a few peas once a day which they really enjoy. Thank you for your advice!

I am feeding them Game Bird Starter crumbles dry. They seem to be eating it now and occasionally wet it themselves.
