my little duck has hatched tonight and once all fluffy and dry I’m moving him/her to the brooder. I have two baby chicks that hatched a week ago, and so my question is..how will that transition be? Is it okay to add my baby duck in with my chicks? Thank you 😊
 
I would be very watchful, chicks can peck even very young ones so don't leave the duckling unattended until you are sure they won't peck it, especially with it just hatching. Maybe set up an area inside the brooder so the ducking can have its own space but they can still see each other then try adding the duckling in a few days once it is up on its feet good.
