I try not to get too involved with what others do but I have preached at every opportunity that keeping different species together is a bad practice. I know people who run cattle with goats and inevitably goats get trampled...at the very least.
I'll be getting some Muscovy ducks (pretty soon) and no matter how much we like the ducks, we like the chickens too much to subject them to the filth that water fowl is bound to entail. They can't help it...it's part of the program but if I couldn't keep them segregated, I'd have NO ducks!

I agree with this- I will only have chickens, no other types of fowl. There are enough problems just putting chickens together that are from different sources, and ages.
