Our ducks have hatched now what?

We have 3 Blue Russian ducks and momma has been nesting. The ducklings have hatched. Should we let momma do her thing and let her "raise" them, or should we intervene? First time with ducklings. Thanks!

Mama ducks do a much better job raising their ducklings than we can. As long as they are not out where preds can get them flying or 4 legged. and they have food and water mom will take care of everything else.Also sometimes other flock members will hurt or kill tiny ducklings too so be watchful if you will have her out with all the flock. Please post some pics of your ducks I've never seen Russian Ducks before. and

Make sure they can't get into water and not be able to get out.
