Considering adding some buff orpingtons

[Wilectric]

Hey BYC users I'm considering adding buff orpingtons but there is one obstacle I have 10 Indian runner ducks does this sound ok or should I wait until I can build another pen?

Welcome to BYC! It depends on how big the pen is that the ducks are in. It would probably be best to give the hens their own coop,as ducks tend to make a mess in the coop.....and you have a fair amount of them

Unless you are talking buff ducks.....

Thanks a lot guys I really am happy to be here. But the enclosure is 10ft x 10ft pen with a lot of elevations and perches

Welcome to BYC. In a pen type situation, I think it is better to separate ducks and chickens - JMO.

I vote for separate quarters for the ducks and chickens.
