Should i watch out for the ducklings from the male wen they hatch?

Question

should the ducklings have diffrent food from the duck?

wen they hatch should i bring them indoor to keep them warm or jus leave them wit the mother?

Answer 1

Just leave them alone. I had male and female ducks in my backyard for many years.  At various intervals the females would emerge forth from hidden areas with a stream of little ducklings behind her.  I never interrfered.  Mum and Dad looked after them, they rummaged for food and snails(which incidentally they love).  They had a small pond to satisfy their water instincts.  Quite often they would come to back patio and line up against the low fence and sleep.  I never did anything, just left em to it and they thrived.

Answer 2

leave them with the mother...

the mother will feed them.. the way the mom feeds them is.. she will regurgitate   the food  until a time they can eat on there own....

just make sure you have a good food /mash to feed them when they start to eat on there own..

and lots of CLEAN WATER

a vet.. supply house should carry it... or check with you local pet store ... so many pet stores are now carry more items

Answer 3

leave them alone.

Answer 4

Yes give your ducklings *chick-crumb* which you can get from any good feed store it may be called something different where you live though .. but it'll be the same or similar.

The male won't hurt them at all ... just leave well be  .... make sure of course they are ALL safe from predators

also Only give  VERY SHALLOW dish of water .. cos the ducklings will get very wet and cold easily .. and will either drown or die of hypothermia that is because when they only are covered in fluff/down . they cannot regulate their body temp and are not waterproof and wont be until they begin to get their adult plumage (feathers).
