Why are there so many spiders in the world? There were literally three that were climbing up my chair today...😧

So I must have a really hard time saying things so other people understand them (probably because I think in Latin most of the time). But I will try again.

There is nothing wrong with mixed flocks (ducks + chickens). I myself have one. But there are ways of doing that put your birds at risk. If you have a drake that has no female ducks or only one or two, he may start to go for your hens. If he does mate them, they can/will be very hurt because (really did not want to do this).

Roosters have a bump. (that's what makes the babies)

However

A duck has a corkscrew . Hens are not made to have a corkscrew go in them. And it can seriously hurt them. So if you don't have the right number of females for your drake, it can mean serious danger for your hens.


I really hope people understand now :fl:fl:fl
