[can you treat ducks basically like chickens?]
Yes
[Can you feed them chicken feed and they will be fine?]
Yes.......although I do buy gamebird sometimes and mix it together. About 1 bag gamebird to 2-3 bags chicken layer
[Can they drink out of poultry waterers?]
Yes
[Do they have to have a place to lay on the ground? Or can they get to the nesting boxes about a foot up?]
Mine lay on the ground, in the doghouses provide AND a few get into the chicken boxes which are 1 1/2 feet up. So really they lay just where they want to.............
