    How to Manage These?

    We have 5 baby chicks and 5 full grown chickens and one duck. The duck keeps getting injured by something in the coop. The birds are obviously pecking at its eye, the baby chicks have since the day we brought them home together, but in the big coop now that they're bigger they seem to get along...

    Poor poor ducky!

    So we have 5 year old hens and just got 6 new chicks and 2 ducklings about a month ago. They all share a coop. We've had to separate the ducks because the chickens were pecking their eyes. Then my husband thought it'd be ok to put them back together and we left for one night. He came back today...
