I have three groups of ducks.
3 Females in one pen
3 drakes in another
and my mama duck and her three week old ducklings.
Now, my three females are almost old enough to start laying eggs.
When they start, should I let my mama duck out with them? She is always pacing the fence to be with her drakes, yes, her drakes. SHe is a bossy little thing.
Once they start laying im going to give the six duckling free ducks the run of both pens, so that I have some fertile eggs. should I let mama out with them, or leav her with her ducklings? she has already started laying again, and im running out of egg cartons.
