Pay attention to farm animals as well

Even though we often see adorable and relaxing pictures of different animal farms where all the creatures play on the green and sunny meadows and everything is wonderful, well, in reality, things are completely different. Some animals can’t live together, even if they are domestic or exotic. For instance, donkeys and dogs do not get along very well if you do not familiarize and socialize them from an early age.

“A surprising combination that does not work well together for most pet owners are ducks and chickens,” explains Dr. Ogle. “They require vastly different habitats and physical needs.” Another odd couple is the rooster and drake (male duck). They can be aggressive in a flock. “Turkeys and chickens also have to be managed carefully. The main concern here is a parasitic infection known as blackhead disease,” says Dr. Ogle.
