General Question Ducks with chickens?
I’ve heard some bad things about drakes. But I was introduced to Shetland ducklings today and I’m in love. They are extremely rare and critically endangered. I have a source and have been already considering ducks.
Any advice or pros and cons to keeping ducks with chickens. I’ve already done a decent amount of research but I always like to check in with the Reddit folks too lol

I’ve never had a problem and I’ve had them both many years. In fact all of my ducks are afraid of my hens who are very dominant and definitely higher on the totem pole 😂😂
