    Can Two Roosters live together with no hens?

    Believe it or not hes not treated any differently then our other roos. Just ever since we got him he refused a coop no matter what I did. Haha surprising whenever he does manage to sneak in through the dog door he never relieves himself in the house.

    Future duck owner with LOTS of questions.

    A very good back yard duck breed is Muscovies. They dont quack but instead do a very quiet hissing and/or huffing noise. They also have very great personalities. :D Regaurds to racoons Id suggest making a coop you can lock them into at night or put a flight night or something of similiar...
