Can i have a couple of ducks with 2 feeder pigs?

[OkChickens]

I have 3 Rouen ducks 1 drake and 2 hens can I have them in the same pen with 2 feeder pigs? I am wondering because I have noticed they will eat everything that is green. I call them my little weedeaters! Haha is this possible to do this? Thanks!

What kinda pigs?

 

[critterranch]

yes it is totally possible. what age you going to slaughter the pigs? does not sound good at all really.

I wouldn't - have had pigs try to kill not only poultry but lambs. Old timers 100 years ago when losing a draft horse pulled it into the hog pen to finish.

If they go after the ducklings it'll be too late to stop it then.

Pigs are omniverous. Duckling anyone?

The pigs will appreciate it. They love poultry. Yum yum.

Well what my plan is to raise the feeder pigs with full grown ducks. I'm getting a few pigs to raise for butcher this fall. I'm curious if the pigs will bother or be bothered by the ducks?

We had three suicidal turkeys be eaten by our pigs.
I understand that the first turkey did not know what would happen if he flew down into the pig pen.
But the second one watched, and then flew down...

and then the third one did too.

The pigs were very happy.

I see your pigs eating the ducks and eventually having a taste for meat again.
