My husband and I have a discussion going on. I have 2 Pekin Ducks (both females I believe) which were raised separately from the chickens, and we've let them free roam on our 9 acres, almost all open with a 2-3 acre lake. It has taken several months to get them into the water, but now they'll swim around the edges! Here's the issue: we also have 2 Arcona Ducks (1 male, 1 female) which were raised WITH the chickens, and stay in the chicken yard with them. My hubby wants me to separate them from the chickens and put them with the other ducks lakeside. We are planning on fencing in an area on the shallow end for the winter to keep the ducks contained/provide warmth/feed easier. I say the Arconas are "chicken ducks" now and would be too upset if separated. Other opinions? Thanks!
