Answer 1

1-  Ducks are messier then chickens.  They spill their water water EVERYWHERE and their p**p is WAY nastier then chickens.  I'm not sure why.

2-Smaller chickens are easier to handle.  Get bantams.  They are smaller and eat less food.

3-DUCKLINGS!!!  They totally imprint on you.  My sister had a duckling she hatched in an incubator and it followed her everwhere.  He totally rocks!  Chickens could care less about you.

4-At least three.  Four seems good.

Don't feed ducklings medicated chick starter!  It kills them!  They eat more then chicks at a time, so they overdose.  I'm not kidding.

No.  Start feeding them chick/gamebird starter.  Also, oyster shells are great for calcium.  They can also snack on cracked corn once they get older.  (It's cheaper)
