i just got two runner ducklings. thinking ahead, i'm wondering about how you get them to bed at night. i don't believe they will go into their coop like a chicken would, is that true? can they be trained to do so?

If I start a batch of eggs in the bator because the last box shipped is just taking too long, can I add the late eggs if they come the next day? What if it's two days later?
I have a 10 day old chick who hatched from an alleged mille fleur egg. It is feathering in a sort of buff with a lot of black. Is that what they look like? I always thought they feathered in primarily buff. (but maybe i made that up?)
