Should i have my 4 ducklings with 6 chicks

[deandraB]

I just acquired 4 pekin ducklings and I put them in with some chicks that are almost a month old they seem to be getting along ok but im still wondering if they should be separate

If it's working that's all you need. However, the ducklings will tend to make the litter wet and chicks like dry litter.

Personally, I would not. I have had chicks peck at the ducklings shiny eyes and injure them.

I've brooded them together. If you are keeping any drakes they will need to be kept separate as adults. Drakes will try to breed with chickens they were brooded with and their anatomy is dangerous to chicken hens.
