How To Raise Ducklings
Raising ducks at home has become progressively popular, only second behind raising chickens. People normally start raising ducks or other poultry for the eggs or for the meat. However, in some cases, people do it for fun or keep ducks as pets.
If you're considering rearing ducks, here are a few hints and tips on how to go about it. Firstly, you need to find out where you can purchase baby ducks. You can buy them through your local pet store, farm supply store or local hatchery. Once you get your baby ducks home, you need to put them into a brooder. They stay there until they are fully feathered.
What is a brooder? It's a small enclosure in which a heat lamp keeps the baby ducks warm enough. A brooder can be purchased or, in fact, you can make one yourself. Most experts agree that the heat needs to be about 85 to 90 degrees during the first week, then can be lowered about five degrees after that. You need to get specific duck food. This food is high protein. You also need to provide fresh water. The protein content should be about 16-17% so you must make sure that you provide the correct food for the ducklings so that they stay healthy.
Once the ducks are fully feathered then they can be put in an outside enclosure, usually at one to two months of age. After one month, it's said that ducks are fully grown. Ducks love to forage in fresh grass and pasture. They can survive themselves if they have access to this. Otherwise, you'll need a safe enclosure and you'll need to continue providing the proper duck feed.
Depending on the breed of the duck, the age they start laying eggs is different, although usually around 6-8 months. Ducks normally lay an egg every day or an egg every two days. Duck eggs are actually more profitable than chicken eggs because they are 20 to 50 grams heavier. Duck eggs are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Frequently Asked Questions...
How long can a baby duck live in an egg without warmth?
we found an egg at the park on the grass by the pathway. we can't figure out if its a grocery store chicken egg or a duck egg. just to be safe i wrapped it up in a blanket and put it inside the greenhouse (temp 38 degrees). we don't have an incubator or a hot water cupboard. the egg was wet and cold when we found it, it was probably there for a few hours, do you think the baby bird inside is okay? is there a way i can tell? help.... !!
also i read on this website that when ducks lay eggs, they don't sit on them straight away, only after a few weeks or so. won't the eggs get cold? but they're still okay and they hatch.... so maybe the temperature doesn't matter that much after all....
Answer:
As you do not know how long the egg has been where you found it , there is very little chance of it hatching as any young may have not developed or could be dead in shell.
You also need an incubator to hatch the egg that will cost you more than buying a Duck.
No Duck would lay on a pathway some rodent could have carried it to where you found it,it may also be rotten and by keeping it warm it could burst with one devil of a smell.
