Last week I bought 12 hens and 6 ducks. This is my first attempt at poultry.
This duck stuff has me... worried. I won't be building a pen of any kind.
My property is also on the edge of a steep (almost cliff-like) hill. I'm worried they'll go down there and I'll be stuck having to rock-climb down to get them.
1. My plan is to move them to the coop and keep them there for at least a couple of days, if not a week, before letting them out. Will that mitigate the "won't go back inside" issue?
2. Will the ducks help or hurt my lawn?
3. What duck treats work best?
