We have one Pekin duck (lost the other one last night/this morning to a coyote or fox, it broke into their house) and are wanting to get more, and we also want to get some geese. We're thinking Toulouse geese.
Can they share a pen and a night house? They'd be free-ranged most days, I just wonder if they'd do okay penned up together and in the same house at night.
Can ducks and geese be friends? If I get geese before I get more ducks to keep mine company, will she get along with the geese?
We're strengthening the duck house and will be building a bigger pen and bigger house for them, but if ducks and geese get along, we might just build one waterfowl house rather than a separate one for each kind.
I've been lurking on byc for months now, and finally decided it was time to join. We've got our female in the house, in the bathtub for now, she was too lonely outside and just sat outside the living room window and quacked and quacked at us. She seems a lot happier inside. She won't go back into the pen or the duck house right now. I tried, but it stressed her out too much, so I brought her in. We raised them from a day old, they lived in the bathroom for three months anyway, so no big deal having a duck in the bathroom. Doesn't everyone? ;-)
