They
They can both have chick crumb, no duck crumb :) and I keep mine in seperate brooders and they do much better then when they were together, so I recommend doing that as well :)
You should be fine, just as long as you have lots of space in your brooder and they can get away from the chicks and have their own spot. Having 8 should be fine. :)
I just hatched some together, in fact! :D They did okay together, but the ducks hatch 7 days later than the chicks, so they were a little older, but that was not a problem, because the ducks hatch to be the same size! They just need to learn how to walk. My two ducklings are very sweet to each...
