can ducks and chickens live together?

[chickens and chics]

hello,
I was just wondering if hand raised female ducks can be integrated in to a small pet flock of chickens?
thanks for your help

Yes, they can live together if you have proper housing. My bantams and ducks live in the same area but have separate coops because ducks have very different housing needs.

I have 3 Muskovies with my 8 chickens. They eat chicken pellets, drink from a bucket, and sometimes they roost with the chickens, sometimes they sleep on the ground. They seem to get along fine. Though I’ve read that muskovies are more suitable for keeping with chickens than other duck, but not sure why.
