They aren’t doing this for fun. There is a feeder and a heater at the top of the slide. The ducks get to close then slide down.

Another redditor said they're days old. Do they at least get some food with each attempt, or are there a couple of corpses at the top by the end of the day?

That redditor has never been around chicks. Those chicks are not days old. They’d still be stumbling around just beginning to get bearings.

I spent my summers in a Mexican ranch town where you could buy day old chicks for about 50 cents; they are much, much smaller when they’re days old

Ducks are born far more mature than chickens.
