Call drake

[dishfickle]

Do I have to get rid of Bill, call drake? I don't want to if I don't have to. I have banty, and full sized hens. I've heard he may cause injury. Any ideas how to separate? I have three female calls, and a runner as well.

Are you saying you have your ducks and chickens together?
What is your regular set up like? Is the call drake bothering your chickens? If he tries to mate the chickens he could injure them or cause death.
If we know your set up, we can give better advice.

I agree it depends on your set up and his interest in Chickens. My Call Drakes have zero interest in Chickens. I House mine and free range the two species separately..

Oh, ok. The chickens have a coop, and free range all day. The ducks sleep on their pond. They pretty much ignore each other, they have different hobbies and interests . He tried to mate with it runner in the pond - funny!

No need to get rid of him or lock him up unless he is being bad with the Chickens..

if you see any aggression i would consider separating his or even giving him another home. i have a male rouen who was chasing the hens around and next thing i know he had drown one of my hens. just be careful especially during mating time and since you have a pond.
