Are they ducklings? If so, you will need to set up a brooder.

If not, put them in a coop, preferably separate from the rabbits (ducks are messy). Provide them with duck food (gamebird feed, commercial duck feed, or an all flock feed will do), and a water dish deep enough for them to clean their nostrils with. Some hay or other bedding will also be beneficial.

Congrats on the new ducks!

I, too have guineas. They tend to pick feathers out of the ducks when they free range. If it’s an option for you, I would keep them separate.

You may want to go to the duck forum and ask specific questions. Good luck with them.

It’s probably going to be very beneficial if you could acquire (buy or build) another pen for the ducks. If your guineas don’t bother them too much, leave them with the guineas. I think the ducks will be too much mess for the rabbits. Of course if the guineas won’t tolerate them, I suppose the rabbits will be the only option for now.
