can i mix chickens and ducks

[Melinda35]

I have six ducks with my flock of 29 hens and 4 roosters. My only problem is the roosters will not leave the ducks alone. The ducks do need a lot of water. I have two small round tubs that 200 pound syrup blocks come in for cattle cut down to about two inches high. I remove them from the coop every morning and fill them with water in different spots for the ducks to enjoy during the day. At night I dump them out and put them back in the coop with fresh water. The ducks and chickens are locked in the same coop every night. The chickens roost and the ducks get the floor. They have been raised together. They were all hatched on the same day at the hatchery. I enjoy the ducks' personality. You will probably would too.
