Ducks bullied by chicks
« on: May 26, 2008, 12:42 »
We have 4 call ducklings which are now nearly fully grown and have lived in the run for 4 weeks, 2 weeks ago we got 4 chicks which have lived inside the coop for the 2 weeks as not old enough to roam yet. Yesterday we let the chicks out with the ducks and the ducks was fritened of them. The chicks chased the ducks off the grass and the 2 kept there distance. We was hoping they would all live together happily.
Should we continue to let them roam together or should we move the chicks into another section (which we have ajoining run)

We was hoping to get a couple of geese and thought they might help protect all!

my Calls chase my hens  :lol:  They'll get used to each other it just takes time.

I also have geese and they can on occasion be rough with the other birds but once the hen's, ducks, Guinea fowl etc... got used to Crumb they stayed out of her way  :lol:
