I know there are some duck people here and i have a few questions i need answering I have 4 Cayugas 1 Drake and 3 Hens.
This is my first time having Ducks and i'm really enjoying having them i have learned how to feed and care for them but now they are adults i have more questions.

#1 They are free range 24/7 will not go in a shelter at all and they have begun to mate how do i get the hens to use a nest?
I'm afraid they may hide it and my dog will eat the eggs or something else will get them.
#2 Can you move a setting Duck like a chicken?
#3 Can i get a different breed and have them free ranging with my Cayuga's with no fighting or mixing?
