We raise our ducklings in a horse stall. For the first 2 weeks, they get free feed crumbles. But after that, we feed them twice daily by hand. They have to eat out of our hands as we sit on the floor in the stall. They all do. We do this for several weeks. Not every day, but several times a week. Once the ducks are old enough, we lead them out of the stall to a grassy area and a kiddie pool for the day. We herd them back in the stall at night. I have a flock of 15 ducks of various breeds, all raised this way. The Pekin and the Khakis will still eat out of my hand and come asking for food within a couple of feet. The others will follow me with a food bucket but will not eat out of my hand anymore.
If you want a pet duck, raise it as a single.
