I would like to raise some ducks with our chickens but it seems like everyone has different opinions about raising them together. Do they not get along well? Also what breed of duck would you suggest that is a dual purpose breed and is cold hardy?

I'd be patient but if she is 18 months and hadn't lain for so long, there could just be a problem with her. At this time of year, assuming you are in the US, laying can be sporadic or stop all together. Make sure she is on a good, complete diet and that she is getting enough calcium, either a layer pellet or an available supplement. Also, ducks are notorious for hiding nests so look around.I have an aylesbury with my 5 mixed hens yes duck is messy so same as everyone I have no water or food in the coop. I wanted to ask a question about my duck. She is 18 months old, I got her off a friend because she hadnt laid for 6 months. Well 2 days ago she laid but not had one since was hoping for one everyday. Should I just be patient.
