Chick grower is fine but you should give them a supplement of niacin or brewers yeast[not baking yeast] because chick grower doesn't have adequate amounts of niacin that ducklings need. you can buy niacin over the counter and crush it up and put it in their water or buy brewers yeast and sprinkle it on top of their feed. and

Being they are already 8 weeks they maybe over the the problems that can come from not getting the right amount of niacin but it probably wouldn't hurt to have them on it till 12-14 weeks old.
