While life has gotten really busy, I haven’t even had a chance to go on this app, but I have a question for the community here. How do you guys feel about having ducks with a flock of chicken? My chickens are only three weeks old i have 24 total , but I really wanna have four ducks so I was thinking of getting them about the same age as the chickens and keeping them together but with a little seperation, kinda like an Inlaw arrangement with a house ha ha ha thoughts ? Input appreciated https://x.com/awesomevideos07/status/1909844379319312546?s=42 This melted my heart this morning :)

@Sean Short @Angela Mallory I noticed that my chickens are not eating like they used to it’s been a few days and I noticed that when I go feed them it’s still food in the feeder that’s unusual because It’s usually empty or almost empty every feeding time what could be the cause of this is it the season change or is it something that I’m doing very wrong I have been giving them the same food for about two maybe three months but I give them human food every week or every other week as a treat it’s not all the time at all and I haven’t let them out the coop and by it being bare ground grass and dirt I haven’t even tried to clean their coop because it’s grass and dirt how can I clean that but I’m going to move their coop over today because they coop ground is covered in poop now and that’s not good but I need them back eating what’s wrong please help me
