Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join us. Silkies are such sweet and friendly little birds. I'm a chicken person and don't know much about ducks (although I've had a few), but I have to admit that ducklings are the ultimate in cute. You might want to get in touch with the people in our duck section at https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
