Pullet nasty to chicks

That's exactly why I won't get ducks right now. I do want them, but not until our future outdoor brooding building is built.

I've also heard that having drakes around hens is lethal when, not if, they try to breed them.

Edit: Chicken hens to be more specific

Oh gosh, I didn't know they would do that. My neighbor has a ton of chickens, and she used to have 6 ducks. Only one drake. I don't think he ever tried to mess with the chicken hens. But he also had his faithful ladies that followed him everywhere he went.

That is definitely good information to know if I decide get some one day
