So I have to get a straight run khaki Campbell duck. Can I keep with the chickens? I was going to give it a small kiddie pool, but if that's bad I don't have to. What if it's a male? Thanks!

Thanks! I know some people just separate the drakes for the breeding season. I think I'll try that if it is a male.
I am very new to this, my 4 ducks and 3 chicks are around 6-7 weeks old, but they love each other. I have had absolutely no problems, I swear one of my chicks thinks they are a duck!!
We have turkeys, ducks and chickens all together!! (no one needs to tell me about blackheads disease either.....I live in the PNW, and apparently we don't have it here...anyways...that's a "turkey thing") We have one drake, 3 hens(ducks), 6 chickens, and a full grown turkey (hen) running in a large fenced off area. There is enough space for everyone. He has his favorite girl, and can be quite aggressive with her, so we do keep him separated from the lady ducks, so for the most part, he minds his own self. He CAN be quite cranky and often tries to attack ME! Everyone else seems to be safe. So, it can be done. I don't think I would keep them together in a small pen though.
