Duck care and breeding?

Alright, so i found some call ducks for sale, one female and quite a few males. I've always wanted ducks and calls are so adorable, but I need some tips. What kind of feed is best for ducks? can males get along? or will they fight like roosters? For breeding, do you just keep the male and female in the same pen and then when she lays eggs put them in an incubator? or let her sit on them? and how can you tell if the eggs acually have ducks in them? any other tips on caring for call ducks?? dont worry, i have shelter, pen and pond all taken care of :)

1. This might help. It's a site dedicated to these pretty ducks: http://www.callducks.net/looking_after_calls.htm
2. My friend has ducks in her garden. She has a pen for them, and they have a hutch thing. Outside there is a cassarole sized dish full of water for them to drink. She has 4 females, and they get along well, not sure about males though. Make sure they have regular check ups at the vets.
