Baby Ducks

Sean is doing a school science fair project using baby ducks. He is feeding one group water with "Quik Chik" and the other group gets regular water. "Quik Chik" proposes to get the ducks off to a great start with faster growth rate. The photos on this page show the baby ducks growing and the process of changing their environment.
