Recently got some ducklings and chicks so I'm mostly here for some advice on their care and different things I can do for them. I've had a mix of chickens and ducks but I have lost quite a few due to animal attacks. I currently have 2 chickens and 1 duck at the moment but any advice and help is always welcome and appreciated.^^

Hi, sorry for your previous losses. If you haven't already, use hardware cloth on every teeny tiny opening on your coop. You many want to consider hot wiring their run too. Best wishes!

Thank you, and I'll keep the hardware cloth in mind.^^

Big second on hardware cloth. We secure with screws and washers over staples. We have a ton of predators here.

Thank you! And I don't have many pics of them yet but I do got this one of one of the ducklings looking up at me.
