hi everyone, I would LOVE to get some ducklings to raise but I know nothing about them...so here are a few questions about them:
- I have 17 hens and 3 roosters, would it be ok to have them in with my chooks? (if so would I need another coop for the ducks?)
-here where I live, in winter it only get to about 2 degrees at the lowest and I has never snowed, so would it be ok weather for the ducks still or would I have to do something about that?
-if I get more that one drake will they fight like roosters do?
-I don't have a dam or anything like that close to my chook shed, so would I have to build one or have a little blow-up pool or something like that for them, or can they go without that sought of water source?
-can you eat their eggs?
-I'm not sure what type of breed to get (if I get some) what breeds do you recommend?
I thinks that's all my questions
thanks
