I have 3 chicks and 4 ducks. The 2 smaller ducks are quite aggresive towards the chicks so, I built a long nesting box with 3 sections. Each section is 12x12x12, but all the chicks sleep on the floor. I thought it was too high for them so I moved it to a lower level for them, about a foot off the floor. They sleep on the floor right in front of them. I feel so bad for them. Are they too young to sleep in them or have I done something wrong? They are all around 5 weeks old I think, thats how long I have had them. Thiesen's didn't know how old they were so we are guessing at a few days old when we got them. I got them at different times but within a week of each other. They were all about the same size at the time. Any suggestions on what I should do or should I do nothing and they will figure it out?
