Can ducks be loose in a small barn with cows?

[Anahata]

I have 3 very large cows and 2 ducks. Will the ducks be ok loose in the barn with the cows? I would hate to keep them in a small pen. I was wondering if I could just put their dog house in the barn with the cows. The cows are not in stalls but are tied up. I am in Poland so the winters are really harsh. It is normal for it to be -13F in January and february.

Thanks for your help

Welcome to BYC. I don't know of any reason they couldn't be in the barn with the cows.

Hello and Welcome to BYC! you might also try asking in the BYC Forum Back Yard Herds http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/ Do you know how are your cattle with ducks? Some cattle are aggressive towards other animals, and even if the cows are kind and are tied, occasionally a duck may get stepped on or kicked, especially if they are underfoot scrounging grain.

Greetings from Texas! I don't have ducks, cows or harsh winters here, so I can't help you. But I'll bet you can find some good advice on this site.
