Lovin' The Homestead
O.k. here is my situation, I have a nice coop and 9 layers(getting more in the spring) the coop has a nice fenced area and in the fencing is a little gate that when opened allows the girls to get to a 1/4 acre pasture so weather premitting they are free range. So last year I got 3 ducklings, long story short I now have one hen( quack-quack)she lives with the girls and seem very happy. We made her nest on the floor under the girls nests.
So now we want more ducks, quack is a mallard so we want to get her a friend and a drake and I would love another bred.
My question is this-can they all live in one coop or do I need to separate them? If I separate, I still would love for them to all be able to be in the small pasture during the day so at night how would I get them to go to thier perspective coops?
Is there any reason they can't all live together?
Thanks for any and all thoughts on this.
