Hi all! I was gifted a duck by a friend. Well, I've never had a duck- and honestly don't know much about them. What do ducks eat? How warm does the brooder need to be? Im not sure how old this little fella is. Its about as long as my hand (I'm 5'6"), with a dark green back, light green/yellow face and belly, black beak and feet. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Its very sweet, and I'd hate for something bad to happen because of my lack of knowledge. Thank you!!!

posted some good info for beginners in there. If you could post a pic, then we could determine what breed/age it is!

ETA: Depending on age, brooder temp starts at 90 degrees for the first week of life, then lowers 5 degrees each week.
