They should have most of their feathers and not down. Older drakes may pick on them and cause injury before that.

Do dogs and baby ducks get along?

Ducks will pick on baby chicksI bought some baby chickens and ducks (and geese) last year and they all get along. I kept them together when I first brought them home, but after a few weeks, the ducks started picking on the chicken's feathers. So, I separated the chickens from the ducks and when they were all old enough, I let them all run free on my farm. The ducks (and 1 goose) run together and the chickens have their own separation of groups. They all eat together and of course the ducks and the goose eat first, but I put food out in several piles (since I have 31 chickens). I did adopt 1 large duck (who is 2 years old) and was not raised with my babies and he sometimes chases the chickens away from the other ducks, but nothing really bad. I am pleased that my dogs and cats don't bother my chickens and ducks either. I am getting more chickens and ducks this year, so I will let you know if I have further problems. Hope this helps someone. Thanks.
