Layer isn't good for Drake's though too much calcium for them, Don't use medicated chick feed, really causes leg problems. Get a raising ducks book, lot of good info at TSC.3 to five hens per drake. I have Rouens and Khaki Campbell's, KC are the best layers. Are a bit standoffish. Very smart great foragers. Ducks are MESSY. Pools work. They will be dirty in 5 minutes. Sick? Nope their body temperature is higher than chickens. I have fixed a broken leg though. I feed flock raiser, I have 19 ducks, 2 geese, 53 chickens.
