MY DUCKS PULL THE FEATHERS OUT OF MY CHICKEN'S NECKS EVERY TIME THEY TRY TO DRINK. X( Is this normal behavior? What should I do? So far, my chickens look fine, and are healthy, but I'm just worried that the chickens aren't getting enough to drink . . .
I have multiple buckets set out that way the chickens can be at one while the ducks and geese are using the other 2. sometimes the geese will keep everyone away from "their bucket" but for the most part this works. and the are spaced around in different locations so they have a better chance at getting a drink too.
And my ducks and geese will also grab hold of a chicken if they get too close. So far no injuries thank goodness.
