Topic of the Week - Duck Hens 101

[Table4Six]

Thank you! Can they sleep in the coop at night with the chickens?

I have about 18 chickens and they sleep with 16 ducks every night. They get along great because the chickens perch, so the ducks have the whole base of the coop. Although I do have one bantam frizzled Cochin who likes to sleep on the ground with the ducks, lol.

Aww you have a bantam frizzle? I have one too her name is Ebby and she is 9yrs old.

 

[Table4Six]

Yes, her name is Fifi. She's about 4 and a half years old. My other one's name is Marshmallow. They're both white. I love frizzled chickens. They're so cute.

I just looked back at your post @Miss Lydia and saw where you said your frizzle was 9 yrs old.

She's a lil old lady.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Mine girl is very feisty takes care of any big girl that gets pushy with her.
