    Baby chicks fur matted and crunchy

    We purchased 6 chicks and 4 ducklings a week ago at our local TSC. We've raised baby chicks before but not ducks. We kept them in the same bin and found the ducks were making a huge mess with the water so we moved them into their own home today. However, while they were with the chicks, they...
