New mom to ducks

[Momma keen]

Any one have suggestions on how to raise happy and happy ducks ?
I currently have 20 chickens and 2 bb white turkeys and decided to try my hand at ducks !
I have 2 Pekin ducks both females I do believe !
one is a cross of Pekin/Cayugas (sp)
They are currently one week old ..
is the care the same as chickens ?

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Sorry I don't much about ducks but, they love to have water and splash and be wet. Chickens do not .

Ducklings require more protein, niacin, meth, etc than chicks. Make sure you get a good water fowl starter.

Welcome to BYC. Good advice given already. Be aware of the possibility of Niacin deficiency.

Make sure you give them enough nutrition and always have water they can stick there whole head in so they can clear out there eyes. Welcome!!
