My feild runner duck hatched her eggs

[newduckmom]

My field runner just hatched her eggs. I have three new ducklings. What do I need to do for them. I put water and duckling food. Will it hurt them if they eat the moms food? Do I need keep a heat lamp in there coop?

Congrats!! Just make sure they can get in and out of the water containers. Just keep an eye on them, if she doesn't seem to be keeping them warm etc, I'd take them off her and raise yourself with a heat lamp, runners arent' renown for being good mothers, but I have had and seen several that break that rule.
