I have ducklings that are 3 weeks old and chickens thay are 3 months (ish).
My plan has always been to put the female ducks in the coop/run with the chickens.
They currently free range "together" all day until the ducks go back into the brooder in the evening. But they dont have anything to do with each other. The chickens just avoid them and the ducks aren't bothered either way.
The dilemma: Im going on a two night trip in 6 weeks and need the ducks to be in the coop with chickens at that point. How do I make this happen? Do I just throw them in the chicken run one day or??
*won't be doing this until ducks are at least 6 weeks, just trying to plan ahead
