We found 3 mallards in our pool the almost 3 weeks ago. Mom was nowhere to be found and they kind of hung around, so we decided to keep them. We've raised plenty of chickens, but never ducks. As of now, I've just been giving them chicken feed. They are definitely eating and drinking, yet I feel like they aren't getting much bigger. When we found them I would say they were a day or two old. They have gotten a little bigger, but do not look anything like the "3 week old mallard duckling" pictures I've googled. I'm going to switch to a starter feed, is there a specific feed for ducks or is the chicken feed ok?
