Get two.. He/she will have a duck friend and you guys will have twice the fun!

Get 2 is really best for the duckling. but get 2 females if they are going to be housed with your chickens, drakes will mate with chickens and can kill them.

Females for sure my friends drake just killed her hen

Ditto with at least 2. If your chickens are grown and possibly even if they aren't, they won't bond with a duckling. This would leave a very lonely bird. Keep in mind that chicken's beaks are very sharp and can injure a young duckling. Even chicks can injure a duckling by pecking.
