Can ducks live with chickens?

Yes and no, depending on their breed and gender. I have seen that duck hens are rather aggressive with chickens and can easily injure them, or at least pull out a lot of feathers, from only one fight. Of course, your ducks might not be like that—they might co-exist just fine with little fighting. However, if you have drakes, then that is a definite no because if a drake successfully breeds a chicken hen then he will either internally injure or kill her.
I dont want a drake , if the hatchery sends me one I will eat it and get a female duck to replace it

Then your duck hens should be good with your chicken hens, but fighting is prone to breaking out consistently when two different species are put together like that. Just watch out for fights.
