Hi, you want them under a heat lamp with food and water always available. They make a mess so make sure you have them in something you can go dump out and refill with fresh pine shavings about once a week until they get feathers, then you can move them to pen outdoors. Make sure pen is raccoon proof and the coons can't reach in and grab them if ducks sleep near edges. Water and feed twice daily as ducks will get food wet and water dirty.
