Can other animals live with chickens?

Are there types of animals that can be kept successfully in a coop and run with a flock?

Many people keep ducks, turkeys, guineas, & peafowl with their chickens.

I don't mean other types of poultry, I mean animals that aren't birds.

We have an all-Rooster flock in with our sheep. They all get along great, except for having to come up with ways to keep the sheep out of the poultry feed. I quite like having the two species together. It makes double use out of the fencing and housing, plus the roosters keep the deep litter bedding nicely fluffed which aids with the composting and they eat bugs and if any feed gets in the sheep wool, then the roosters pick it out. Of course, the roosters also poop on the wool, so there's that.

Our chickens free range the same areas as our dogs, sheep, goats, pigs, and rabbits.
I think you'll be more limited by what can fit and live in a coop and run more so then what can live with them.

Rabbits can go in with chickens

I have always kept a few birds with young animal like calves or lambs but never when there with the mother
Personal I think it's a good idea to mix your flock with other animals

I have had chickens around rabbits and chickens attach them.

What breed tho some breeds might just be better suited to be on there own then never mixed rabbits and chickens together tho
