Gadwell Ducks are a common breed of duck and can be seen in many parts of North America. This is because they are not only a successful duck in the wild, but also are an easy duck to raise domestically. They are kept as pets, as food, or for the eggs they lay. In the wild Gadwell Ducks eat a diet of tender pond shoots and small insects. In captivity they are usually a diet based on wheat and pellets, with diets varied for the breeding season. They are also very fond of breadcrumbs, although this should be considered more of a treat then a staple of their diet. Because Gadwell Ducks are so easy to rear they are often interbred with other ducks. Gadwell Ducks are ground nesters and people often build them a place for their nests; these usually take the form of wooden boxes placed by the edges of ponds.
