Hello,
Thank you for adding me to your group. I need some help. My fifteen year old daughter inherited 3 300 acre farms. One of the farms has a seven acre pond. There are wild ducks at the pond.
My daughter, Lily, would like to raise ducks and chickens at that farm. Not a huge operation, just enough to keep each other company, but still be pets that have names and like to be spoiled. I know nothing, and I mean NOTHING, about chickens or ducks so I am going to have a ton of questions for people that are more knowledgeable than I am.
So, my first question is, can wild ducks and tame ducks share the same pond?
Will the wild ducks leave? We like the wild ducks and we don't want to run them off. Will the wild ducks try to take over the shelter that we build for the tame ducks? Will the tame ducks decide that they want to be wild ducks when they get bigger?
I know these questions might be stupid, but we really want.to be successful and not have a catastrophic end to our water fowl endeavor. Thank you in advance for any advice you give.
