My Campbells are 3.5 weeks old, and I'm thinking about moving them to the brooder coop. It's currently inhabited by 3 pullets who are about 3 months old - two silkies, and an EE.

Would this breed of duck be safe with the silkies? They seem like they would not be an aggressive breed, but its hard to tell because they are so shy around people.

I just don't want anyone to get hurt. But I'd love to move them out of the basement. Stinky quackers.

I would go ahead and move them. I put a chicken in with my ducks when they were young and the worst that happened was the ducks would run into the chicken and try to knock her over.
 
Well, I have two lovely campbell girls who are very aggressive - they love to chase my chickens around, especially when the chickens get near their feeder! All my birds are free range, I think they are just defending their territory!
 
Oooooh, so maybe a perch with the chickens feed and water is in order... The ducks can get fed and watered at ground level. That would actually solve a couple of problems... I could put the bigger chicken waterer up higher and let the ducks get their water outside.

Brilliant!
