We have heard more than once about animals adopting other people's babies, but now here is the story of a hen raising ducklings as if they were her own chicks. And it seems that she turned out to be a very caring mother.

A caring hen named Hilda with her unusual offspring

On one of the farms in the county of Dorset in the UK, a hen named Hilda, having discovered a nest with eggs abandoned by some unzealous duck, began to hatch it, completely succumbing to the natural maternal instinct.

After just 28 days, ducklings were born and now follow the mother hen literally everywhere. The little ducklings perceive her as their own mother. But only in the moments when her newly-made children happily jump into the water, you can understand the difference between the hen and her babies. It is clear that Hilda treats water with complete indifference.

According to the story of 45-year-old farm owner Philip Palmer, it becomes clear why such a situation arose: “Our chickens and ducks live together and so when I saw that Hilda was sitting on eggs, I could not even think that she sits on someone else's nest. She looked completely natural and patiently hatched the eggs for the entire 28 days. Imagine my surprise when I saw her walking with little ducklings!

According to the Daily Mail, the ducklings do not leave Hilda's side and constantly circle around her, only in moments of danger they hide under her wings. And it doesn’t seem to bother her at all that her cubs are not at all like the chicks of ordinary chickens like her.

And, despite the fact that Hilda is a chicken and not a duck, she is a rather caring mother, raising and caring for her offspring well.

It was a warm sunny morning. The fluffy red duckling, trying not to make any noise, opened the door of his house and went out into the street. He happily splashed his wide red paws on the lush green grass. The kid wanted to go as quickly as possible, because he had set off on an important matter, but he just awkwardly swayed from side to side and said with annoyance: “Quack, quack”...
When the duckling passed the last house in their village, a tiny chicken ran out of the grass to meet him, completely yellow-faced and fluffy, like the dandelions that grew around. Quack noticed the scarf covering the chicken's head and decided that it was a girl. The baby was clearly frightened by something, she quickly moved her thin legs, and when she caught up with the duckling, she stopped and took a hard breath.
- Tell me, who are you and what is the name of this village? – the baby asked anxiously.
The duckling looked carefully at the stranger and answered with dignity:
“I’m a duckling, Kryak, and the village is called Kryakvino.” Why are you shaking? – in turn, he asked a question.
– I lost my mother chicken, dear Coco. Maybe you saw her?
- No, I haven’t met your mother. Listen, let's go to the village to see my mother! She probably knows where yours is. By the way what is your name?
“I’m Tsypa,” she said and thought.
- What should I do? - Tsypa thought out loud. - How to find mom?! She’ll scold me,” Tsypa was about to cry, but immediately changed her mind. She was not afraid next to the duckling.
- Quack, are you also lost?
- No. If you can keep secrets, I'll tell you.
- Of course I can. “I love different secrets,” Tsypa looked at him with curiosity, waiting to hear the secret.
“I’m going to the lake,” Quack whispered, “I want to learn how to swim.” All my brothers and sisters do it perfectly, but I just can’t do it. Last night my mother was unhappy with me. She said that I was incompetent and a coward. I was so ashamed... And this morning I decided to prove that I am a real duckling, and just as brave as everyone else. He left the house quietly and didn’t say anything to anyone. Do you want to go to the lake with me?
Chick was delighted: finally she was not alone! She jumped up on her short legs and shouted:
- Yes, yes, let's run!
“I can’t run fast...” Quack sighed.
- What are you talking about, it’s so simple!
“You, Chick, have thin legs and you quickly rearrange them.” And mine are wide, they look like flippers. It’s hard to walk on these.
- Okay, I’ll walk next to you. “You swing so funny from side to side,” Tsypa laughed.
– Don’t laugh... You and I are friends now. They don’t laugh at their friends, but help them in everything,” Quack was offended.
“Come on,” Tsypa waved her wing in a conciliatory manner and walked alongside.
For a while she tried to walk slowly, but soon she got tired of plodding and she pulled ahead again, leaving her new friend behind. And when the lake appeared, Chicken screamed:
- Hooray! Here is the lake!
The little girl rushed headlong to the shore and, without hesitation, splashed into the cool blue water...
- Oh, I'm drowning! Help! – Tsypa desperately beat her wings.
The duckling heard a frightened voice and rushed to help, but it was impossible to run quickly. Quack tripped and rolled down the steep slope towards the lake. Once in the water, he plunged headlong, his paws moved by themselves, and he swam to Tsypa. At that moment, the duckling forgot that he could not swim and was not afraid of drowning. He approached his girlfriend, and she was already completely exhausted, her yellow head kept plunging into the water, her beak silently opened, greedily gasping for air.
- Hold on to me! - shouted Quack.
Chick grabbed the duckling's wing and climbed onto his back. Soon both were already on the shore. The chick jumped onto the grass and began comically shaking off her wet wings, exposing one or the other to the rays of the bright sun. A tired duckling lay down on the grass.
- Why aren’t you wet? - Chicken suddenly asked.
- Ducks are never wet. Water rolls off our feathers because they are greased.
“Look there,” said Tsypa, who was straightening her stuck down fluff with her beak, surprised.
-Why did you jump into the lake? – the duckling was perplexed. - You could have drowned. If you can't swim, don't get in the water. And we ducklings have to do this almost from birth.
- So what! “I’ll learn too,” Tsypa answered arrogantly.
- Chickens don't swim. Although it turns out to be so simple! But you can run fast.
Chick happily stretched out on the grass, exposing her tummy to the sun, and had absolutely no intention of thanking her friend for saving her. Quack stood up and exclaimed:
- Chick! But I did it... I learned to swim!
“You see how I helped you,” Tsypa said proudly.
-You didn't help me. I swam myself and, by the way, saved you.
“If I hadn’t drowned, you never would have learned,” Tsypa continued arrogantly.
The duckling was offended and did not answer anything, he just tucked his paws and turned from his side to his belly.
“It’s boring with you, Quack,” Tsypa rose from the grass. “You can’t even play catch-up.”
She jumped up and began to run and jump around the duckling. At this time, a chicken and a duck appeared nearby, hurrying towards them.
- Our mothers are coming! - Chicken shouted.
Quack jumped up and happily hobbled towards him. When he approached his mother, he immediately quacked guiltily.
“Mommy, forgive me, I won’t go so far alone again,” Quack asked for forgiveness.
At this time, the chicken Coco fluffed her feathers and, spreading her wings wide, headed towards her naughty child. Chicky backed away cautiously.
– Mom, don’t scold me! I almost drowned!
-Who saved you? – Coco asked her daughter and looked at her incredulously.
- Quack!
The chicken stopped and approached Quack.
- Thank you, Quack, for not letting my daughter drown. I wouldn't survive this...
Mother Duck smiled proudly and stroked Quack's head with her wing.
– What a blessing that everything ended well! I worried so much. I forgive you, son. You have done a noble deed. But don't leave home without permission anymore. And you, dear Coco, come and visit us. You have a lot of chickens, and we have a lot of ducklings. Let the children play together. Let's be friends.
- Hooray! - Quack and Chicken shouted.
“Thank you for your son and for the invitation,” Coco replied.
They went to their villages, promising that they would definitely meet tomorrow.

Vakhrusheva Anna

Poultry farming brings good income, which can be significantly increased by raising several types of birds, such as chickens and ducks. In a small homestead area, the question arises about the lack of space for separate poultry houses. In this article we will consider the possibility of keeping different families together.

Difficulties you may encounter when keeping birds together

The main problem of keeping them together is the love of waterfowl for humidity, while at the same time, for chicken stock, excessive humidity is fraught with disease. Ducks have a habit of drinking food from their beaks.

Naturally, part of the food flying out of the beak gets into the drinking bowl, and the birds splash water on the bedding. The chicken squad, in turn, likes to rake grain out of the feeder, and in the end it all remains on the litter.

This brings up problem number two: frequent cleaning. To avoid constant humidity, it is better to arrange separate drinking bowls and feed your pets at different times.

Did you know? IN Ancient Greece The rooster was associated with Persephone, the goddess of fertility and the wife of Hades, ruler of the kingdom of the dead. According to the myth, the goddess spent six months in the kingdom of her husband, six months on Olympus, and the herald of her return to the world of the living was a rooster.

A spirit of competition can also arise in a bird hostel; aggression will lead to loss of appetite, stress and a drop in productivity as a result.

Features of joint housing in a poultry house

There are many differences between chickens and ducks, but there are also similarities in living conditions and needs, let’s take a closer look.

Common positions of chickens and ducks

So what's in common:

• both types need a warm room, without drafts;
• both families need to be protected from rodents and wild birds, as from possible pests and carriers of diseases;
• poultry houses must be cleaned and regularly disinfected;
• ducks and chickens need longer daylight hours in winter;
• individuals need a thoughtful and balanced diet, the availability of fresh water, vaccination against diseases;
• Until one month of age, there are no differences in caring for chicks.

Opposite positions

When arranging a poultry house, it should be taken into account that ducks are adapted to living on litter. Chickens prefer to rest at a height, with their paws wrapped around a perch pole approximately 50–70 cm high. In this case, you need to correctly calculate the population density per square meter: chickens - up to 5 individuals, ducks - no more than 3.

There is a difference in the preferences of laying hens: ducks prefer twilight when hatching eggs, chickens need lighting. In addition, the hen will calmly mistake someone else’s egg for her own and hatch the lining; the duck will most likely abandon the clutch.

Ducks must be provided with a pond while walking; chickens do not like water, moreover, humidity is destructive for them. Even in winter, ducks need somewhere to clean their feathers; they need a container with water. The chicken family also needs baths, but with ash.

Ducks are fed up to 4–5 times a day, chicken stock - no more than 3 times, the amount of food per day also varies. The drinking bowls must be placed separately: for chickens - at eye level (nipple), for ducks the drinking bowl is placed on the floor.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Colocation

Perhaps the only advantage of such a tandem is the space saving in a small garden area. To some extent, maintaining cleanliness in the poultry house is simplified: it is easier to clean one room than to carry out the same procedures twice.

There are relatively more disadvantages:

• waterfowl can create an increased humidity atmosphere, which will lead to diseases in chickens;
• cleaning will have to be done more often, especially when it comes to bedding and washing poultry dishes;
• you need to think carefully about the organization of feeding - separate drinking bowls and feeders;
• take into account preferences for conditions for resting and laying eggs;
• constantly monitor possible manifestations of aggression;
• think over a lighting system separate for different families.

Poorly organized housing for any type of bird can affect productivity: due to stress, egg production may decrease, appetite may disappear, and with it, weight gain.

Did you know? The oldest duck to survive its 25th birthday, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is a drake from Great Britain named Will-Kwak-Kwak.

Features of feeding

The daily dose of feed in a chicken diet is approximately 130–135 grams, this includes:

• grain (wheat, barley, corn) - 70 g;
• bone meal - 2 g;
• salt - 0.5 g;
• greens and vegetables - 30 g;
• bran - 20 g;
• additives (minerals, vitamins) – 10 g.

In the warm season, there is enough greenery on the range; vegetables can be added to wet food. The feeding regimen is usually divided into three times: in the morning and evening - dry food, in the afternoon -.

Adults should receive an average of 380 grams of food per day. The diet includes:

• grain - 200 g;
• greens - 100 g;
• bran - 80 g;
• vitamins and minerals - 3–5 g.

In the warm season, the amount of greenery consumed increases: ducks, provided there is a live reservoir, collect duckweed. During this period, there is no need to add fish oil to the food.

The diet for both types of birds is calculated more accurately depending on the direction of the breed (meat or egg), as well as the season.

Features of raising chicks

Up to one month of age fundamental differences There is no care for chicks.

Important! Mash for both representatives of birds is prepared immediately before eating, since wet foods quickly sour.

Conditions for keeping chickens and ducklings:

• temperature. Up to one week of age - 30 °C, the second week - 26 °C, then gradually reduced to 18 °C;
• lighting. The first days of daylight are 20 hours, gradually reduced to 12 hours;
• litter It must be dry for up to a month of life, the health of chicks, ducklings, including, depends on this;
• Fresh water must be available. Both chickens and ducklings need it in large quantities around the clock.

The diet and diet for babies are the same:

• first day of life - boiled egg;
• before three days- low-fat cottage cheese, porridge;
• up to ten days - crushed steamed grain, mash, chopped greens, fish oil and other vitamins;
• Twice a week the chicks are watered with a weak pink solution of potassium permanganate.

Babies need to be fed at the same time so as not to create stressful conditions. You should not place drinking bowls near feeders; ducklings quickly pollute the water, trying to immediately wash down the food. If the drinking bowl is located far away, the chick will have time to swallow the food and the drinking bowl will remain clean.

Ducklings are released into a pond with adults at three weeks of age, and if they are brooded by a hen and it is warm outside - at a week of age.

Breed selection. The correctly selected breed of both species will help to avoid conflicts; the more calm and peaceful the birds have, the easier it is for them to get along together.

Room. The best option- divided into two zones. Arrange one section based on the needs of chickens, the other - taking into account the interests of waterfowl. Perches for chickens are located at a height of 50–70 cm from the floor, for ducks - floor housing with deep litter.

Nutrition. First of all, they feed the larger and more voracious ones, that is, ducks. Placing drinking bowls away from feeders will help avoid dirt and humidity. Scattering of food will be prevented by a mesh fence with large cells so that the bird can only stick its head through (10 cm).

Important! Keeping chicks and ducklings together from the first days of life significantly reduces the risk of conflicts between adults.

Lighting. When breeding laying hens of both families, you should consider separate lighting for chicken nests that does not disturb ducks, which prefer semi-darkness. It should be noted that laying hens are more aggressive in nature than meat breeds, so nests should be located at a distance from each other.

Walk. If the walking area is small, it is better to divide it into two sections: with a pond for ducks, with a trough filled with ash and a mandatory canopy from rain and heat for chickens.

To summarize: by studying the needs and habits of each of the poultry families, it is possible to ensure problem-free coexistence of species in the same territory. In this way, you can increase your household income and rationally use a small area of ​​the site.
