Pretty cool! You don;t really have to feed her as she will look for food in her environment. However you can get a bag of poultry food (not chicken food) and feed her about 6 feet from the nest. Make sure you have a container with some water nearby as well. Poultry food is a mix of food that can be fed to ducks, turkeys and chickens and other fowl. Apart from that, try not to disturb the duck as she may leave the nest if she feels disturbed.
