In the Brooder
I live in central FL and have been wanting to start a small poultry flock. I currently have a rescued Dutch Bantam chicken hen who lays well and 2 Muscovy ducklings that we rescued from a dog. I think one is a drake and the other is a female. If either of the 2 turn out to be drakes, we'll either raise them and let them go in one of the lakes around here or eat them, as I want fowl for egg production. My question is, can Runners stay in the same coop/run as my hen with daily free ranging, or do they need separate housing? Right now, the hen is in a small hutch type pen and the ducklings are in the yard with shelter and the pool. Thanks for any advice!
