Farm chatter

Ooh, so it could be done? Can the chickens eat niacin too? I would probably not have a drake, do they lay decently?
I think the niacin should be fine for the chickens. Drakes do not lay. Most breeds of ducks lay well.
 
I would be curious to see how a drake does with chickens if he had enough female ducks (is there a special name for them?) to keep him well occupied.
Female ducks are called ducks or hens. My drake has never had any problems around my chickens, and he just has one duck hen.
 
Surprised that what is a issue? The drake actually wanting to mate with them?
yeah. idk what terms are acceptable to use here but in the vaguest terms, drakes go inside the duck hen whereas roosters just kinda mash up against the chicken hen. so I'd assume a drake trying to mate a chicken would be highly unfulfilling to the drakes mating drive. unless we are saying he umm makes it inside the chicken hen, in which case I could definitely see it being a big problem.
