Sorry the last two are kind of hard to see, but they should all hatch soon!
 
Being from Canada I would guess you will be feeding chicken feed ? I’m in Canada and struggle to find any duck feed here
I use chicken starter ( non medicated ) then I add nutritional yeast
1tbsp per 1 cup of feed as ducklings need more niacin to grow healthy and strong legs
Remember to check all little ones for pasty butt as the odd one will have this
For the first few days a small chicken water dish works but after 2-3 days the beaks will grow and need a larger dish to dunk their heads to clear nose and eyes
I use small butter containers and make holes in lid big enough for them to dunk but not jump in and get wet then to cold
I’ll add pic of what I had. I left the chicken water for a week as they liked to drink out of it but they also used the deeper water
You can use any plastic container as long as they can reach in
Dollar store also has lots you can use
Congrats and enjoy the week with them
They sure are amazing little babies
