I plan on getting a duckling to raise with some baby chicks. I know there are many sides to raising ducks with chickens. Nonetheless, I really want to do this. I LOVE ducks and would have a bunch of them, if I had more space for their messiness. I really don't want two ducks. I'm hoping by just getting one, the mess will be more minimal. The chicks will be coming from MPC. The duckling most likely from my feed store. I won't be able to get the baby chicks till about late March. The ducklings will be offered at the feed store as early as this week. I have a brooder already set up. Since I only want to get one duck, will it be ok for awhile by itself in the brooder, or is that too long for him to not have any companions? I know lone chicks can be VERY noisy. Is it the same for ducklings?
Thanks,
