It's about 3 weeks till Laying Time for my girls!
13 chicks and 4 ducks, have been together since day 2. I know what to do for my hen's nest boxes but not a clue about the ducks! I am using the deep litter method will they use that? Do I put hay or straw on the floor and let them make their own?
Will they use the chicks nests? I have heavies so the boxes will be nice and roomy.
I've read about them nesting outside but up here we got 31' of that white stuff last year and I just don't see them spending much time outdoors!! lol
What do ducks like?
Please tell me cause I sure like them!
Thanks
