Is there such a thing as too many ducks? Or even too many chickens?

I have 25ish ducks and currently have 9 house chickens. And I decided to hatch more duck eggs. I currently have the possibility of 29 little quackers and have ordered some fibro EEs to hatch later in March.

to much? Not enough?

as long as your coop/land is big enough for all you birds than you can never have to many!!!

9 chickens in the house sounds like too many
You can never have enough ducks though!! As long as they stay outside

I think too many would depend on space and ability to take care of them. They look pretty healthy to me, I love those lighter colored ducks to! What breed are they?

I have 15 outside and am raising 6 more ducklings. I look out at my ducks and think it really does not look like 15 ducks. I feel like I am missing some when I have them all in front of me. I know I will have to stop after the new 6, that will basically max out my coop. But there are dreams of bigger and more. They are just wonderful animals. My logical half, my husband, is just as in love with them too.

They are Aztec ducks. They were originally a cross between mallards and pastel call ducks. They have a cool pencil pattern on their feathers.

The nine house chickens happened by mistake. They were a Xmas present and well it didn’t warm up fast enough to get them outside by now.

yes, to many ducks can do major damage to your property but not chickens .
Ducks will quack everything up. unlike chickens who just scratch .

Ducks are angels

No such thing as too many birds at all, as long as they receive proper care, and have plenty of space.
