Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

Your ducks really need to eat a balanced diet of duck starter. With treats less than 10% of their total diet.

I would take away all the extra stuff at least for now. Once they get hungry enough, they will eat the duck feed. Then you can eventually add a little bit of the treats back in once they’re eating the real food but no more than 10% of their diet like RJ said. If they go back to refusing the food then I’d go back to no treats. You can also try wetting the food too. They usually LOVE that and think they’re getting a treat lol
