I used to work at an Amustment Park where I live. When I was on break and the ducks would flock to me, I'd give them some of my pop-corn chicken (spicy of course). I wonder what happened to them? Does that make them carnivarous? Or, are they already that because they eat worms?

Duck will eat anything and I mean anything. They will eat animal poop. So you didn't harm them in anyway. Not the best diet for them, though.

Yes ducks can eat chicken food. Though there are a couple of issues you should consider when keeping both in the same pen. Most domestic breeds of ducks are prolific breeders, they are not monogamous. Many of the males of domestic breeds are also not picky about what they will breed or try to breed. Ducks and chickens will not cross breed. This doesn't mean that a male duck would still not try to breed with a chicken. The problem that occurs is a male duck can injure and even kill a chicken if he copulates with her. Water fowl breed in a more traditional sense being the males have a penis, poultry like most all birds breed by vent rubbing. Domesticated mallards and pekin are 2 breeds I would not recommend putting in the same pen as chickens. Another thing to address would be how much pen space you have. With a large enough water source as well as ground space, typically chickens and ducks will segrigate them self, ducks primarily staying around the water and chickens staying mostly in scratching areas. To have a pen such as this would make it fairly large,,,, about a 1,000 square feet.

It's not mean, they love it.
Down in San Diego my buddy and I were so bored we took some cooked duck and threw it to the ducks, they about climbed over each other to get it. They loved it, and they seemed fine afterwards.
I felt like I lost some of my innocence though with my discovery that the fuzzy, cute little ducks are in fact bloodthirsty CANNIBALS!!!

They make spicy popcorn poop. I go to subway and feed ducks little pieces of bread, then just before i finish i flip a jalapeno pepper their way.

I'm not sure what would happen, but I doubt they're supposed to have it. But it probably won't hurt them much if they're not eating it all the time. Interesting question though.

Re the spicy part, that is just plain mean.
