Richard T Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi Tara, So far, the 5 chickens and 2 ducks seem to get on. They're living in separate runs but we let them all free-range in the garden at the weekend and they mostly ignored each other. And the woman we got them from (a neighbour) has chickens and ducks in her garden and I think they all get on too. We're waiting to see what happens when the drake gets a bit older and starts to take an interest in girls. I think that's usually when problems can start.

Caroline Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 our ducks and chooks are fine with each other. When we had the drake, he did try to 'get' one of the chickens - always the same one(!) - every time he saw her. We ended up putting a chicken saddle on her and then he stopped the ducks don't even seem to worry too much when a chicken goes into the duck house to lay of sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
