Oh my god, it's ducks now!

Well, him in doors decided we need more chickens, rang chicken lady no chickens yet but we can have ducks. Rapid build of duck house inside agriultural building and guess what today 2 drakes and 10 ducks arrived. They didn't just turn up, we went to collect, thought big dog crate lined with newspaper would suffice. Yes but No but, how did they manage to hang their bottoms out of the cage and poo? My lovely disco is being used - for what i guess designers intended - we think we may need a defender. One duck laid an egg as it got here, and of course it smashed on the concrete, we have straw area waiting for laying. Hoping chickens and ducks will all get on well as they have all "ran together" previously! Listen to me you may think i am expert but not so just really chuffed we are prepared to learn and continuously do so.
