I would separate them. I also keep ducks and chickens together in the same run. The roosters usually keep the drakes away from the hens, but I do take precautions. Every morning I pull out the drakes so they won't get any ideas or cause avoidable injuries. Also, the ducks coop separate from the chickens at night.

I absolutely love the FBCM chicks I got from her! They are adorable!

I hatched 2 striped EEst, so I had to share the adorable chipmunk love!

No, there are still a few people that have not provided counts yet.

Question for you guys that use broodies....If you use a broody to hatch chicks in the coop, and can put food and water in the coop.....what about the ladder...do the chicks try to go out the door and fall out or go down the ladder and can't get back in? Or does mom keep them in the coop ok? Mine is about a two foot drop from the doorway to the ground. Wondering if you have to move the mom to ground level or if it can be done in the coop.

I think I posted it, but in case not. We got 8 chicks out of 22 eggs. One passed away after a couple hours, so our current total is 7, but 8 technically hatched
