Back on board

[DianeKB]

Hello!

I'm back after the hubbub of moving. I own 9 ducks, Snowy Calls, Grey Calls, Mallard and a Runner/Grey Call cross.

Of my eight hens, I have 6 sitting tight on eggs. Last fall, I found bought a pair of mature Snowys. There's a good chance the drake has been busy, and I might have ducklings next month.

My question is should I have ducklings, do I sequester the drake from them? Is it common for drakes to damage ducklings?

Thank you,
Diane in East TN
