Different Poultry interactions flock

[RooStar Chicken Gang]

Can you put geese with chickens and roosters, or other poultry and have them form a flock together? Does a turkey for example treat chooks different then a duck?



Or is it just like a cat or dog, who sometimes hang around or don't kinda thing.

A male duck will kill a female chicken. They aren't anatomically friendly...

Why would a duck do this? What does the duck get out of that? Not saying your wrong an it doesn't happen, there is a dam our chickens sometimes hang around, it sometimes has wild ducks, not that much really but there's yet to be a wild duck attack. Or possibly it's just domestic ducks who do that?

To be blunt,

A drake has a penis. A rooster does not.

Drakes will mate with anything during breeding season and it can kill a hen.

It's a crap shoot.
First, the different types need different types and sizes of habitat.
Turkeys and geese are large so need more space.
Duck make wet messes, not good for chickens.
....and the male duck anatomy not good for chicken hens.
Multiple males in any or all the species could be trouble all around.

Then there is just the individual bird demeanor's, some will be more territorial than others.
