RIRJen the only sure way I know of is to wait until some start laying eggs. Those will be the hens.

I might be over-worrying this, but I decided that my ducks should be put up for the night.
It's 45 degrees right now and they have been in the pond all day.

So I roused them out of the pond and they made a bee-line to the chick coop. Went right in the door and attacked the hanging feeder for crumble.

The roosting chicks looked at them like what? Then went back to sleep.

At least I feel better knowing that the temp in the coop is 60 degrees and should be tolerable for both ducks and chickens. Of course my feel good emotions may not be what is best for my fowl. My chickens like to bed down in the coop and the ducks seem to like being outside all of the time. Should I interfere or not?

The chickens are happy, the ducks are happy, you're happy. Sounds like the right thing.
