Want to add to the flock
Hi! So, long story short our drake grew up with a chicken for 3 months, sadly enough the chicken passed away 2 weeks ago. Now the drake is alone, and we are undecided if it is a good idea to add new chickens (for eggs, my bf isn’t too keen on duck eggs + (i feel dumb saying this) isn’t a male + female always gonna give babies?)) or if we go for another drake, or 2 female ducks. So the choices are:
One other drake
Two female ducks
Two hens
I know drakes can rape chickens and that’s what scares me. We didn’t originally knew this but the hen & drake did very well together and the vet told us to keep an eye on it but give it time. Nothing ever went wrong.
