Baby ducks and chicks TOGETHER?

[Countrypunk92]

Can I place my 2 day ducklings with my 2 week old chicks?

yes; I've done it two years in a row; They can eat the same food, and the ducks will grow much faster than the chicks, and will be bigger than they are in a couple of weeks. Good luck

I decided to wait a few days and let the duckies get a little bigger before I put them with my rowdy chicks.

Yes you can just use UN MEDICATED food otherwise those piggy ducks will OD on the food

I always have my ducks and chicks together..... ducklings are messy just to warn you.

Duckings have decided to swim in the water bowl instead of drinking.

I've raised them together until they reach a certain age.
Ducklings are generally messier, especially when it comes to their water dish.
I don't fill my waterer up completely, about halfway, so that the ducklings don't make a mess out of it, and so that the chicks don't get soaked and cold.
