LOL, THAT had me laughing.
Ummm ... I think they are badmouthing the ducks. Or badmouthing the ducks AND me for letting them be close together.
They both want the same water trough ... ducks for swimming, chickens for drinking. Doesn't matter when there are 4 different water sources ...
For a month or so, I kept water in the coop and fed in the run, until I read BeckyLa's post that she did the opposite and her reasons.
Now I keep food in the coop (to keep food dry) and water outside (unless weather is REALLY bad - to keep the coop dry).
They don't go in until they are ready...
