I need help

Baby duckling is doing great not sure if it's eating what should I feed it

Put duckling starter (18-20%) out in a shallow pan. However before you feed it provide some water, perhaps some very small chopped greens (with grit provided) and dip its beak in water. Leave it for half an hour to an hour and give it food then. This prevents frothy mouth- eating grain based food too quickly. Once they're eating well you can provide food in an automatic feeder if you wish.

You could try moistening it to the consistency of wet oatmeal. Don't put in more than a quarter cup at first, to see how it works, and you don't want moistened food around for very long due to concerns about spoilage.

My ducklings started eating their starter crumble without problems.
