Hello,
I have had chickens for several years now but acquired a female duck and goose in April, both raised from babies so I hope to get eggs from both of them soon.
The chickens sleep in the coop and the duck and goose sleep inside some nights and outside some nights, they all live in harmony together. But I have a couple questions
Is there any activity from the duck or goose I need to look for that will tell me the eggs will be coming soon?
Do you think they will go inside to lay an egg like the chickens do?
Do I need a separate house for them to call their own?
Will they sleep, lay eggs and poop all in the same area if I build them a house?
Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
