Baby ducklings in with chickens

[jennifermaywood]

Hi everyone, I have 5 hens and 2 Campbell's who all live in the same coop and run with no problems. But my female Campbell is going to be a mommy in about a week. My question is will the ducklings be safe with the chickens or should I take them out when they hatch?

It should be fine to have them together but I would watch to make sure there not being neglected or picked on. Good luck!

Thanks. I have raised chickens for 30 years but never tried breeding ducks until this year.

I definitely would separate them..Even for a week after hatching. Block her off days before due because the others don't understand Peeps and might kill them all.
