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.

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.
