Hi, for all of those out there that have had success with raising ducks and chickens together, what type of coop/housing design did you use? Where did you place the nesting boxes (high, low, or both)? Do the ducks need to be separated if we let them brood their eggs? We are planning to get several baby chicks (3-4 no roosters) and a few Cayuga ducklings (2-3) as well. I have spent a lot of time on this site looking at all the different coops, which by the way are very nice! We live in California where the summers get very hot. Any advice on how to build the coop to keep it cooler or what direction to face it?
