I have googled a couple of these questions and I seem to get such mixed reactions I don't know what to think.. so I thought I'd get info directly from people who have ducks as pets themselves.
1) Can ducks inter-mingle with chickens either in the coop or free range or is it best to keep the birds separate?
2) What kind of essentials do I need for my ducks' habitat. I see that they need some type of pond but what about housing? Do I need to create a coop for them? (We do have predators where I live)
3) What's to keep the ducks from flying away?
4) How often do ducks lay eggs in comparison to chickens?
Thank you for your time.
