That said...as they are ranging and foraging, they all just kinda raspy quack. Is this normal, too?

Um, That noise you hear is probably the feeding call.

Okay so you have 1 hen and 2 drakes. It might be a problem, I had my ducks live with my chickens for while. But as the chickens got older they started to gang up on the ducks! So you might want to seperate them.

Funny...when the ducks were a bit younger, they were constantly going after the chickens. Now, they have seemed to work out their differences and happily go about their business in their run. When they come out to free range, the ducks follow the chickens everywhere. I suppose the tables could turn at any moment, and we will deal with it if/when the time comes.

I'm more concerned about the drakes trying to mate with my chickens :/

Huh okay. Now that is a problem, if the drakes mate with the chickens the chickens might die.
That is what I have heard.

Yeah, that's what I'm concerned about. I'll keep an eye out and make sure I take them out if I need to. Sure hope it doesn't happen :/
