I'm sorry I just don't know what your question is? Are you raising the ducks and chickens together and don't know what to feed them?
 
They are together and there getting food they I think the ducks might be scaring the chickens when we feed them grass?!
 
:frow welcome to BYC !

If you feed chickens and ducks don't use medicated feed. You may need to separate them because the ducks will spill water and chicks need to be dry.

so true I had my day old chicks (9) with week old ducklings (6) and the little duckers got the chicks wet@ night when I was sleeping. 8 of 9 chicks looked soggy & dead, I checked. ..they weren't. I put them in a separate bin with a heatlamp over & a heat/fan blowing@ the bin from a few feet away. After 8 plus hours al the chicks were good, the heatlamp stayed, the heater left, they're good 3 weeks later.
Ducks are fine too, but won't see the chickens until everyone lives in the coop/run.
