Hey there! I haven't logged on in about 6 months so here's an update. I had 5 ducks who were fenced in but kept getting out. I took down the fence and everything was great. Ducks were happy, I was happy. They never roamed too far and still went in their house at night to be locked up. But while I was on Thanksgiving vacation and a neighbor was caring for them, a fox ate 3 of them. So now I have two girls left. My Pekin, Puddle and my Runner, Stella. Things are good with them. They turned a year old last month! They're molting right now and haven't laid any eggs in a few weeks. Does anybody know how long that will last?
So here's my crazy question. Would I be a complete idiot to get chicks? Two girls. And house them with my ducks and let them free range all day with the ducks. My ducks do not have food or water inside the house. They have a pool but it's off on it's own. So the chickens wouldn't be around splashing water. The duck house is about 4 ft tall. What about a roast? And would my ducks accept the chicks as part of their flock?
