Chicken duck questions

How much room do chickens need?
If I introduce a flock of baby chickens to the ducks (three) will they hurt them?

It would be best to keep your chicks and ducks separated because ducks are messy and chicks can get damp and chill and die. You don't say how old your ducks are either and putting baby chicks in with adult ducks or even week old ducklings is asking for trouble. They can injure or kill baby chicks. Same would be if you had chickens that were older than ducklings and wanted to try and put them together .

Ducks/Ducklings can kill your Chicks...Ducks need deep water to Dunk their heads and Chicks could fall into the water and drown...coccidiosis thrives in wet conditions so not good housing Ducks and Chicks together ....
Set up a separate Brooder...

They are four months old what if I kept the chickens and waiting until they were older ? I would probably only have them free range together and sleep separately

You could try that although my Ducks and Chickens free range separately ...I have an electric mesh fence to keep mine apart...My Ducks hate the Chickens....

My geese ducks and chickens do free range together. So that may be doable something you can try.

Hm....it could be okay maybe they will be separate maybe they won't be but my ducks are so mellow and sweet they come running up to me and wag their tails. And the chicks I'll be socializing them and picking them up like I did the ducks and hopefully they just won't be nasty to us humans ....when it comes to each other it's more so instinct I guess ....
