Help!! Chicken picking on my duck.

[Twolf]

I have just introduced my ducks (3) to my year old chickens. Slowly I added them by using a dog crate in the coop. They were great that way and hung out together great free ranged. But sometimes I put them in a big dog kennels area... Today my chickens one in particular. Kept picking at my drake. She was brutal and so I took my chickens out. This was day 2. Should I give it some time? Or relocate my ducks. They sleep together at night no problem. I check in on them and the ducks hunker down. Thoughts

How old are they? I would lean toward separate quarters.

Ducks are 9-10 weeks. I only put them together bc everything ive read people have put theirs together. Even my sister in law has hers together.

It's probably the age difference

Ok thank you. Do ducks need light 24 hours like chickens? I have a horse stall I can move them into but they wouldn't have light at night?
