Bantam Ducks?

[Aileen]

Is there such a creature??

I quite fancy getting a couple but as my garden isn't the biggest I want to make sure I do right by the birds as they will be sharing it with 5 chickens , seperate run as I'm not sure how quack quacks and cluck clucks co-habit......

iv 36 bantams and large fowl chickens and 6 large ducks. normally they get on fine all eat together and run up the garden the big chickens some times tell them of but they do it to each other. at the mo my 2 boys are fighting as teenagers and if one looses he goes and pecks he chicken
one of boys got the hens tail she ran up the garden with the duch slidding behind her in the mud what a sight :lol:

It's a class of duck, rather than a breed.

You get heavy ducks, light ducks, Indian Runner ducks and bantam ducks (call ducks).

They are quite small to mix with Large Fowl but you can do it if you have sufficient space and feeding places and make sure they aren't getting bullied...

Black East Indies ducks arent very big, my friend has some in her garden. They are very cute!
