Co-housing

[sarahbeth827]

We have 3 chickens and 2 ducks that are free-range. It is possible to co-house the chickens and ducks? They only really go in their house to sleep and sometimes we have to leave them in if we go out of town or when we re-seed our yard. Anyways, we were thinking of keeping out current chicken coop and duck hutch and linking them together with a small run. Good idea, bad idea? What would be some concerns I should have about doing this?

many do this with success. just remember ducks like it wet and messy and chickens not so much.
