We've used chicken wormer (flubenvet) on ducks with no problem. The one chicken thing you definitely can't give ducks is chick feed that has a coccidiostat in it.

I asked the vet before using flubenvet for my ducks and she said it's fine. Might be worth emailing Marriages about their medicated feed?  :&>

chick crumbs are often medicated and bad for ducklings, maybe that was it? :&>
