I don't know how duck genetics work.

I wonder what, exactly, helping to take care of ducklings entails?

Do they come in the house, and take over a bedroom with an en suite, watch Bluey and eat all the popcorn?

Do they just get fed on the porch?

Something in between?

    For chickens and turkeys it's basically: Keep them warm. Keep them fed. Keep them clean.

    They have brooders, which are basically simple enclosures for this kind of thing.

    That's usually when there's no mother though. I have no idea where they would keep her, or if she goes in and out. My guess is they just have a safe spot the duck likes, and they started feeding them.
