Awwwww poor chickie

The Chicken looks like a White Silkie (dark skin, hair like feathers) and your little duck looks like a Fawn and White Runner!

What breed are the 12 duck eggs?

Good luck....sounds like he/she is imprinted to you....

Oh, btw

Oh, poor chicky, it looks like it's almost too late. I wouldn't introduce it to the duck right now, but get it healthy.

Make sure it is eating and drinking and see if you can give it some vitamins and minerals to boost its immune system

yeah its a baby silky. Ima get her back to the way she should be. She was left out in the cold too. got her under a heat lamp right now. Shes eating and dricking water and using the bathroom just fine. And i dunno but we got 2 dozen eegs for free. silky chicken eggs and i dunno what kind of duck eggs but we got bunches. I put the baby chick up to my ducky's cage and they was like "hey hey" to each other. ima wait before i put them together to make sure the chicky is healthy. so far so good. shes sleeping at the moment nice and warm. and well my duck is right now at my feet picking at my pants. I excited about more ducky's. my neighors have a chickin coop so when my chicks hatch and my baby silky gets better im give them to my frineds next door. as the duckys go im keep them all, and they will be my little ducky children. cuz me and my wife arent going to have real babies for a long long time. i have a question tho. i got this food from tractor supply. it game bird and show bird food. 27% protien is that to much for my duck and will it be ok for the chicken. says it for all game birds. we got it cuz my ducky ran out of food on a sunday and everything was closed besides tractor suppy and that all they had

Way to much protein. Just get regular grower/developer undedicated feed with 17% protein. That will work for both. The duck will need more niacin, which you can add to the drinking water. It is fine for both the drink it.

will it hurt him till i can got get diff feed tomorrow? iv feed it to him for the past 2 days. he should be ok right?

Your duck looks like an Indian runner. Does it have a very vertical posture? I would stop feeding it the 27% food and just hand feed some veggies like lettuce, tommatoes, corn ect. Do not give it bread, as much as they love eating bread, it is not good for them.

its 24% my bad. so just fruits and veggis for the rest of the nite then ill go get him some diff food tommorow.
