Duck bullying my chickens

[Ccass26]

I have 9 week old ducks, two drakes and two females. I also have six 8 week old chickens. I’m noticing that one drake is pecking at the chickens. Is this normal behavior?

I wouldn't be raising them together. As you see there can be some bullying between the species, and the drakes may try to mate the chicken hens as they mature which wouldn't be good for the chickens.

Sometimes they can be housed together with enough room, and with the species not being raised together.
