Advice From Duck Experts..or anyone with opinion!

If they were mine, I would let them have regular supervised time together. The reason being you never know in advance when you have to segregate (injured, sick, broody, breeding, etc) one or a few from the others and it might be nice to have options as far as where to put them. And if they get along it will be easier to do so.

I was painting boards putside last night with very little light and 4 of the chickens hung out with me. I was surprised that they were cleaning themselves and eating bugs with it being so dark. They stayed put on top of the coop(I lvked them up when I was done for the night) but they did move around.

Really, all of mine are very still, actually the only time I can easily pick them up. Even Mr. Rooster can be picked up off the roost. I thought maybe they were night blind...

I don’t think chickens can see in the dark burnt @llombardo had lights on

In a couple of weeks when the chicks are off this super grain and is free ranging I can bring them back together. Which is why I thought it best to let them continue to see each other. My husband is building a bigger better coop (I'm so excited), then everyone goes out into the pasture.

Hi my name is Emily and I'm having trouble on here posting I have a 2 year old jumbo Peking and his name is duck duck and I think there is something stuck in his throat but I opened up his bill and I didn't see anything he is consistently drinking water and I don't know whether if he's over heated or what I need help

@Emily Davis Have you felt along the outside of his neck starting at the top.
What are the temps where you are? give us an idea of how your set up is for Duck Duck what he eats where he sleeps what he forages on during the day. Has he ever been wormed?

Would you like me to make a thread for you? It will say it is "by" me, but I can tag you in it and you can " take over".....could be a step up, but we could try.....

I do too! I took that picture with my phone, no special light or screen and it looks like it is glowing. I absolutely love it!
