My duckling died but I don’t know how?

Please remove your duckling from the chicken pen. They will kill it. And ducklings need friends, get one of those as well. Or maybe give your duckling away to a home with other ducks

I am getting another duckling

Yikes.
Please don't get any more ducklings until you've done a lot of reading on what kind of care, housing, and food they require. And they need at least one other duck, but several ducky friends would be best.
They need:
-Predator proof housing/shelter outside
-A feed specifically for waterfowl or chicken feed with nutritional yeast added for adequate niacin
-A water dish deep enough to clean out their bill when they eat
Ducks don't have to have a pool or swimming water source but they will be much happier if you can provide them one. But they shouldn't be let in a pool unsupervised until they're past the duckling stage.

Thanks @chelseachook for the advice and I am getting another duckling all I fed him was some wet rice but is it right to feed your duckling rice? I mean the owner said feed them rice.

No. It's not a balanced food for them at all

Isadora, I’ve actually got a question, if I’ve got a pond, does that work as a source of water when they grow older? I’ve got a pretty large pond that’s making me seriously consider getting ducks.

I would take the water quality into account but absolutely it could be.

I'd check for anything like snapping turtles, etc that could be a threat to the ducks. If the pond seems safe for them, then yeah for sure it sounds okay

This is the pond in question.

This is the pond in question.

Looks like a good size.

A duckling that old wouldn’t quack though?

Yes, that is a very good point!
