Can anyone help me. Ten wild ducklings showed up on my porch last night.
I'm in Winter Springs, FL trying to find a source for food or for refuge, or both.
They seem to be around a week old. That's a guess from someone who knows nothing about ducks.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

You could try to locate a wildlife rescue in your area.

Have you seen the mommy duck around? You could always buy duck mash for them at the feed store and start feeding them until they are big enough to forage for themselfs. Provide plenty of water.

Word of warning though, baby ducks are very messy feeders, you will have duck mash and water splatters from here to Canada and back, so don't bring them in the house.

Find a rescuer, call animal control or if it is legal there find a farmer with ducks who would know about caring for them. They need care and protection from the many creatures that prey on them like snakes, hawks, cats, dogs, raccoons, large turtles and alligators. Are you sure they are wild? Most domestic ducklings are the same color (except the ones that will become all white) as wild ones. If they are wild they may be under certain restrictions that will make it illegal for you to try to keep them yourself.
