Hey so I am bringing home 3 full grown pekin ducks this week as well as some muscovy babies that are about 5 weeks old. I have a large crate to transport the perkins and was hoping to use a Cat carrier for the babies. I'm gonna try and fit the dog crate int he back of the truck and not the bed as to not traumatize them. They are only about a 25min drive away. We have a duck area that's rather large about 20 by 25feet for at night with a house and a little pool. I worry about hawks and owls but I would love for them to be able to free range we have a huge yard about a quarter acre that's fenced in by 6foot chain link that keeps away most predators except those that fly. I also have chickens in a different area they are not currently free ranging they have a run and are getting an aviary but I would love to have them all hang out during the day. Is this possible or even a good idea? Am I doing this right? I grew up with ducks but have never had muscovy or pekins and I've never had them at the same time as chickens the ducks are female except I dont know the sexes of the ducklings.
