    Missing duck

    I have 3 Ancona ducks. The hen went missing 3 days ago. She has done this one other time and reappeared after 3 days. Is it possible she went off the hatch eggs? Has anyone had this experience?

    ⠀ Mixed flock

    I have chickens ranging in age from 5 months to 18 months. I also have several ducks that are 8 weeks old. Is there one feed that would be nutritionally adequate for the entire flock? They all free range all day
