I've had an email from Russ about mixing ducks and hens.
Hi ,
I have recently bought 4 ducks from a farmer. 2 x khaki & 2x campbell.
I have to keep them apart as the campbells wont let the khaki eat.
These ducks appear to be ferrel.i.e difficult to catch etc.
I am feeding them duck & geese layers pellets( although they are not eating alot) and wheat which is in a bucket of water.
How long should i keep them apart.
am I feeding the correct feed.
when will they start laying.
they have started going into their own coups of a night on their own.
I have had them 2 weeks.
please can you help as I am going at this blind.
i also have 42 ex battery hens.
Will I be able to mix ducks with hens and how should I do it
Thank you
russ
