Regarding my last comment. I have eight girls, and six months ago added two ducklings. Unfortunately, one baby duck was taken. The other hurt, but is just fine and a huge Quacker. Took him a while to adapt with the girls, they pecked at him, until he got a bit big. And then it became funny. He thinks he's a chicken kinda, but knows his territory as a Duck. I separated them for a while but didn't work, they all were unhappy.
Long story short - I have a baby pool in my coop, which is a 14 x 14 dog runner, inclosed with two small coops inside, so we put them to bed at night so nothing eats them. Quack- AKA Quisine- loves his pool. We of course clean it daily cause he is messy, but so fun to watch. He can't wait till I get home from work and he will jump in, with a squirt of homemade soap and I will spray him. Soon as the boys get home they jump in and wash him and play. The chickens are now getting the hang of it and are jumping in. It is Adorable.
