Waterfowl vs chicks in the brooder.

[The Poultry Guy]

How do they do together in the same brooder? Thanks.

Waterfowl are messier, and depending on the two breeds, they can either be trampled or trample the chicks. I try to brood mine separately if I possibly can. We usually throw them all together once they get some feathers on them.

Ok thanks.

Plus chicks like to be dry, ducks like to make a mess out of water - non compatible inside
