Hi duck folks. OldGal is thinking about adding ducks to our little family, and we have a few questions:
Any other comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Oh, we don't have a rooster if that makes any difference. Not interested in them as meat, just eggs.
- Can they live with the chickens?
- Do they really need a pond? (We raised one from a duckling in a studio apartment once. Taught it to swim in the bathtub. (Long story.)
- How much do duck eggs sell for? We've been told $1 apiece around here.
- What breed lays best?
- Can they eat chicken food or would we need to feed them separately?
