Question regarding chicks & duckling eyes

[nao57]

So I couldn't help but wonder this morning, how far chicks and ducklings can see?

How far developed are their eyes actually? Are they born fully developed or just mostly developed?

(With mammals their eyes usually take a few days to start to work. And I know they aren't mammals, but this is comparing them to this...)

here is an interesting article on chickens eyesight and that of birds in general. Let me see if I can find you some more info

A quick google told me that ducks see better than they here, and further and sharper than humans. Not A complete answer to your question. They do see (almost) immediately after hatching from my own observation. Since they need to follow their mom pretty soon in the wild
