Chicks attach to a salient moving object around the age of day 4.
Ducks attach to the object they hear peeping when they are in the shell.

If you (or the chick/duck) want to change their attachment, you would do
different things based on
1--the mechanism of the natural attachment
2--whether the attachment was learned through some more drawn-out mechanism.
