Baby Chicks and Ducks?

[Nettie99]

I have 6 weeks old chickens. They have been raised with my 6 week old ducks. Today one of my baby ducks died due to a predator. My question is, does the duck need a new duck buddy or will it be okay just living with its chicken friends. They all have live together since they were born.

You will need another Duckling....Also if that is a Drake?....He will try and breed your Chickens and will kill them....Drakes have a Penis and Roosters do not...
You might need to consider a plan B and have separate pens for the two species....

glad to have you join us, but so sorry about your loss. And hope you can keep the rest safe.

I have no duck experience, but IMO if a male - then he needs a female duck companion. If female, she may just think she's a chicken and do fine with the flock.

I would suggest you post the question under the Ducks forum to get experienced opines.

And hope you'll start a thread intro under the New Members forum to get a proper welcoming.
