    duck food???

    hello, i got some baby ducks today, and i am feeding them medicated chic starter, because i also have new baby chics. the problem is i just read on here that medicated can kill a duck, so my question is why would it kill the duck and is it okay to feed them regular, non medicated chic starter??

    hatching

    once the egg is cracked, and the chic is starting to come out, what is the normal length of time that it takes for them to come out, and if they are in there a really long time, can you help them out? cuz i have heard that sometimes you have to help them out, but im not sure how long is too long?
