They could probably free range fine with the chickens as long as the chickens accept them, we have a member here who is dealing with an awful wound some of her chickens did to her duck, so sometimes chickens and ducks don't do well together. My chickens and ducks are in a half acre together during the day and some of my hens even scare my drakes. No attacking though but my ducks do grab a chicken when they get to close. You'll have to introduce slowly and supervise to make sure no one is getting picked on or injured. And I wouldn't advise housing them together.I have two white Pekins that I just got and was wondering if they can free range with my 50+ chickens when they are used to their new home. They keep an eye out for predators and the sheep help discourage birds of prey. Any experience with this anyone?
What breeds do you have I'm looking to get a 10 or so and possibly add a couple of geese as wellMy husband suggested we get a duck call. For me I just went through this. We would try to herd them then had to catch them and put them in, I wanted to train them. How do you get animals to go anywhere? Food of course! I only feed them at night (make sure they have water), then I will give them a snack during the day... they also free range to their hearts content.
