Ducks raising chicks

[Kda]

My duck will be raising chicks. I was wondering what do I give the chicks and the mama duck? They will be in the same coop so how do give what mama duck needs and what the chicks need nutrition-wise. Do I offer chick starter? Is it okay if mama duck eats it too?

I've never had any poultry hatch their own eggs and raise them so if you have tips please let me know. I want them to be happy and healthy.

I have very successfully raised ducklings with chicken hens, but chicks have not done well with duck hens. They tend to get stepped on and wet. Chick starter is fine. Good luck and monitor closely.
