Can Chicks Eat Duck/Waterfowl Starter?
I have a baby duck and baby chick. I bought medicated chick feed at feed store. Only kind they had- no duck starter. Medicated chick food is supposedly very dangerous for ducks. Could the chick eat duck starter??? It would be very hard to separate them to eat as they are both with a momma hen.- lowillobe

He is actually under a broody hen in the laundry room. I have a humidifer going in there to try to keep it really humid. -

Only the shell around the pip area. And the inner membrane was showing. It is definitely a duck because now I can see his wing and foot and bill. He has chipped off a decent area but I'm afraid he is becoming shrinkwrapped. So, earlier I took a q-tip with warm water and dabbed the... -
