Sneaky Pekin

Mine have been awesome.

Really? Do you just leave them be in the process? If not, how do you intervene/help?

She came by it naturally. She and her brother were both taking care of their chick hatch mates, and same age poults a week later. The ducklings covered them the best they could, let the chicks play on their backs during the day... When my Muscovy became broody, the one Pekin did too. No interference.

Do you also have other birds with them?

My chickens have been around ducklings before and never bothered them and I have no roosters, but I’m wondering if it could be dangerous. Or if my drake would be okay around ducklings.

 

[harmonymw]

Okay she has ten eggs in there and she feels Very Protective. Should I mark them?

This is so exciting. Spring over here is breaking up fights and separating drakes. They've actually been pretty good this year.

You still don’t have hens, right?

Yes, everyone mingles together.
Correction, my quail are penned separately. I do have mourning doves in the coop, mingling with everyone.

Pretty sure this translates loosely into “GTFO”

Nope, it's a all boys club over here, My ancient Shih-tzu is the only exception.

I think your translation on your picture is accurate!!
