How to raise ducks?

[chickenpal147]

I just got 2 mallard ducklings and was wanting to know how to raise them. I did my research and know just the basics but I want to know more. Like where should they live can they live with my chickens. And other info you might have.

If you have drakes, no living with chickens. Some folks mix flocks, others don't, especially at night due to differences with roosting and water, mostly.

There is a sticky on raising ducklings - have you seen that?

I second the drakes away from the chickens because they can rape them. I personally would house them seperate because ducks are really messy and dump/use more water.
