Hello, we did things a little backwards and got ducklings first. In the spring, we'd like to get chickens, we're looking at brahma pullets specifically. We have a very spacious yard in which they could potentially co-exist with ducks. 150' x 150' of fencing, but we would plan on getting them their own separate housing for nighttime. We are wondering if we have to worry about our drake being a problem for the chickens when they're old enough to join them outside?
We have Khaki Campbells, they're about 4lbs, and the male to female ratio is 1:3, so the drake already has his hands full. He's also a tad bit lame and no longer waddles as fast as the girls, can't catch bugs, and even struggles to get into the pool sometimes. I don't really think he's capable of any sexual violence, especially since standard brahmas are about 2.5 - 3x bigger than him, but I wanted some other opinions.
Conversely, I don't want the brahmas to bully the ducks. I hear they're gentle giants, but just in case I wanna put that out there too.
