Do you feed ducks and chickens the same feed

[claireree]

I currently have 6 chickens (ave 17weeks old) and 2 duckling (4/5 weeks) anyway the ducks are in a sep pen and I came home today to find my ducklings had got out of their pen and where quite happy in with the chickens. Anyway to cut a long story short at the moment I am still putting their feed in their pen as chickens cant get into it but what I want to know if can they eat the same feed as the chickens, and if not once they are in the pen alltogether how do you feed them seperatly

I feed my two ducks the same feed as the chickens: grower/finisher or all-purpose chicken feed. I do occasionally add powdered Brewer's yeast to a special little dish just for the ducks. I keep crushed oyster shell available free choice for the layers. I have ducks and chickens of all different ages, so that's why I just feed one type of feed, exclusively.
