So, Steve's Friend, bob decided to go broody. She kept moving her egg laying area around and me being me, didn't pick up the eggs like I should have. She laid them in an inconvenient spot and I was lazy and kept putting off climbing around the duck habitat to get the eggs.
Now, eventually she will have ducklings and my question is this: Steve the drake is still in the same habitat. When the kids finally hatch out, should I move him to another pen? He stays away from "Bob" because she's just a big old crank and he learned his lesson early on but I don't know if drakes and ducklings can co-habitate. I know roosters can and do habitate with chicks but I'm clueless with duck family stuff. Thanks in advance!
