Hey y'all, I need some advice. I have 3 duck hens and 1 drake living in a bantam chicken flock (silkies, cochins, etc.)
I watched a YT video recently from a channel that I respect, and the lady on there said that she has a very small drake that doesn't mess with her big chicken hens. He stays with the duck hens. Would the reverse be the same? I have a big drake (and duck hens) and little chicken hens.
Do I have to get rid of the drake? Everyone in the flock is just starting to mature, so now is the time for me to decide. I really don't want to get rid of Drako Fowlfoy, but I will if that's what's best for my bantam chicken hens.
PS. Almost 100% certain he's a drake. He has a whispery quack, and his tail feathers are just starting to curl a little.
