So I got 7 chicks all pullets yesturday, and four ducklings. Their all in the brooder together, but they have a divider so the ducks are all on one side. I'm feeding chick starter and duck starter. I put some electrolyte supplement in the water for the chicks. So my one chick had poo stuck...
So, Im ordering 3-4 Pekin ducks and 8 chickens to all live together. All chickens will be female, but the ducks dont come sexed... I know if you have a drake there should be at least to females but If I get a ratio of 2 males 1 female will they constantly bug the female or other chickens even...
