OhMy how georgeous.. Question? do you keep both Drakes and hens together? and no fighting between the drakes? and swwet pic of C-hen and D-hen

lol. The drakes fight ALL the time! They knock over waterers and anything else that gets in their way. Yeah, we keep the all together; they have the run of the place. During the day they stay on the cock-yard (woods) and in the evening they go to the pond; then back to the cock yard to sleep.

They never fight till ones dead? we had that happen, but the 2 drakes we have now get into it occasionally but for the most part it's just Top drake trying to run off lower drake. just noticed that with our new duckling that is a drake that lower drake is now trying to make him move out of the way, Why Can't they just Get along? lol theres plenty of hens, well I will be adding a few more next year. My youngest isn't into girls yet..

Oh no, I didn't mean that. They have never killed one another; they just fight all the time. Sometimes somebody gets bloodied up a bit, but though violent it is pretty harmless. Fighting and feed time are the best times to catch them up.

My scovies run together too. And yeah, the males fight occassionally, but never had them fight to the death.

So you can breed black & chocolate and still get chocolate?

If the male is split to chocolate. The male in the pic is not, so all I got was Blacks from them. They are actually turning out really nice.
