We adopted a pair of adult ducks this past weekend. We had hoped that they could share the same coop space as our six chickens, but the chickens gang up on the ducks and attack them. Right now we have them separated in two different pens. The male duck was attacked by a hawk (which is why we rescued them) and he walks with a limp so he can't really defend himself.
We are thinking of trying to put them together again this weekend when we are around to keep an eye on them. Will the chickens ever get used to them and behave, or are we going to have to keep them separate forever?
Thanks!!!
