Chick and duck blastoderms can expand on each others vitelline membranes.
The expansion rates in vitro of chick and duck blastoderms transferred to each others vitelline membranes were compared with blastoderms left in place. Duck blastoderms expanded slightly faster than chick, irrespective of membrane type. There was no specificity.
