Don't put a chick that small in with your Muscovy's you can put a plastic bin inside the brooder and keep the chick in that but that is way to big a size difference to put them together now, let the chick get at least 4 weeks old by then they can all be in the coop together and the chick will be able to get up on a roost away from anyone who wants to bully it. I'd get at least 2 chicks though they do much better in 2 or more. if you keep the chick inside another clear bin in the brooder make sure the chick can't jump out into where the ducklings are, you'd be surprised how nasty babies can be to one smaller than themselves.Thank.you all for your input .. also I was wondering .. my dad wants to get road island reds and at my feed store they had one left I wanted to get it so bad but was UNsure so I didn't ... would the chick be ok if I were to get it.and put it in the broader I have my 2 to 3 week old Muscovys ... the chick looked a few days old
