Hi fellow byc members I recently bought an incubator and I'm thinking about hatching some ducks. I have never owned ducks but have always wanted to. I would hatch call ducks or Cayuga ducks. Can either of these go in with my bantam chickens? Do ducks need constant access to water to swim in? I'm thinking about putting a pen around a baby pool and opening it for only a part of the day. Do ducks roost or just sleep on the ground? I have my bantams in a large fully enclosed pen. Do ducks need to have any vaccines to be with chickens? Can ducks be fed chicken scratch and laying crumble? I have no roosters will drakes be ok with bantam hens or will he mate with/kill them? I'm hoping to have call ducks cause they are just so darn cute!!!!! Is there anything i need to know about ducklings any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
