Are they sexed?
Ones I get usually aren't and I get lots of males. Still like them. The male ducks will often protect my hens too.
They need lots of water always available. The droppers are okay but ducks like to duck their heads in water to clean out their beaks. They gurgle the water. They will also want to completely submerge to get rid of ticks lice in their feathers. Whereas the chickens take dust baths
Be careful of heat lamps they can start fires. I had one fall one time lucky I didn't burn down the hen house by the time I found it.
