Hi all! I am a newbie to looking after a flock after having researched and wanted to for a long time! I kind of inherited a few birds from someone who could no longer look after them. I have 1 drake duck, 1 female duck, and 2 chicken hens. The ducks have their own duck house, and the chickens have their own coop, attached to a 15x10 fenced in run. They have all been together just about a week.
Every once in a while the drake kind of snaps at the chickens. Never gets ahold or anything. He is not overlyyy aggressive, and leaves them alone most of them time. Is this behavior I should be worried about? Are they still just feeling each other out? The ducks were in the space for about a week before the chickens made it over.
Thanks!
