We have australorp chickens coming, and a nice hen right now, and we have spotted ducks, one pair.
We'd like to breed both and are learning/reading as much as we can.
I know we'll need two drakes for the ducks eventually but we'll stick to one roo.
My question is how close a relationship is reasonable when starting? Is there such a thing or is it better to keep the lines totally separate?
