Water, proper feed and security is all you need to get started. Iv'e only started ducks once before. What I can tell you is compared to chickens ducks are much messier. They will make a mess with the water, my set up did not make it easy to keep a dry brooder. But I will tell ya they are fun to raise and have around the farmstead. Oh and tastie at the end.
