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.
Don't ask questions when you know the answer is fowl.
