update question.
the duckling has been brought up with some chicks in a brooder and stick closely together, will the duckling and chicks BE OK together in the run and eventually free ranging in the garden or will it need a friend?
will it matter if its a drake or duck?
thanks

Well a long story really, but a guy found a duck egg on his decking next to his pond, he brought it into work and asked if i wanted, i of course said yes took it home and stuck it under a broody hen.
19 days later my hen gets into the wrong nest box and all the eggs went cold, so put them into my incy and all the chicken eggs failed to hatch but i left the duck egg in just in case and its hatched!
i assume its going to be Mallard type, my OH has named it already!
its now in with my one week old chicks and looking well, my question is will it be happy eating chick crumb?
