    The Ducks verses the Chickens

    Two of the ducks have wandered off. I think they went to the local pond a couple of houses down. One is sticking around and guarding the chicks from outside the pen. Everyone is back to laying daily right now. Fingers crossed it continues!

    The Ducks verses the Chickens

    The chickens have begun laying an egg every other day and 4 of the 6 are laying daily. The hen that was not doing great is making a good recovery. She has some PTSD though. They are all much calmer though. The ducks are upset, but they will just have to live with it!

    The Ducks verses the Chickens

    Me too! The chicks seem a little unsettled with the change, but I think they will settle soon. The one that was in bad shape has stopped hiding and gave herself a good dirt bath today. As I write this I hear them announcing an egg was laid. I hope we will start seeing better consistency with...

    The Ducks verses the Chickens

    Thanks for your help! I did a bit more research today in combination with everyone’s insight. The ducks and the chickens are separated! We were supposed to have all females. Turns out we have all males. What a nightmare for my hens!

    The Ducks verses the Chickens

    Hmm. That’s interesting. I might have a male duck then. I’ll have to listen more internationally. They do souls Donald Duck-ish when the three ducks are together, and they stick together like glue. Space may be an issue because we had a neighbor that caused us some grief over the summer despite...

    The Ducks verses the Chickens

    They are supposed to be all female. We did have a rooster even though we were supposed to have all female hens. He was rehomed because we are not allowed roosters where we live. He’s been gone awhile. How would I know if my duck was male? They look the same.

    The Ducks verses the Chickens

    I have two Pekin ducks, one Khaki Campbell duck, & 6 ISA brown hens. Everyone got along well until recently. The hens are laying eggs regular though the ducks have yet to lay any eggs. The entire flock is under a year old. Recently, as in 2-3 weeks, the Pekin ducks have been targeting one of the...
