Help! My six ducks, Khakis I think, pluck the feathers out of my chickens and eat them. They were all raised together, all about 1 month old now, and housed together in the new coop, 14 ft x 16 ft and 5.5 feet tall, so I don't think overcrowding could be an issue. Only 40 birds at this point and only 6 are ducks.
I'm afraid it may be the food, first all chicken starter but now mostly chicken egg layer formula. I'm afraid it may not be enough protein, but how do you provide different foods when they're housed together, as many people do.
Thanks for suggestions in advance.
