Ducks And Chickens Live In Harmony?

[Duckbreeder2020]

I have 6 males and 4 female ducks (separated) and the females are with chickens. Is there anything I should know about ducks and chickens living together?

The ducks make the floor messy. I have heard some have had problems with the chickens trying to peck the eyes of the ducks. I have had a couple of ducks live with my chickens. One was brooded with them and would do what she could to stay with the chickens instead of joining the other ducks. I never had a problem with keeping ducks in my chicken coop.

I’ve had them live together with no problem but I’ve heard that keeping drakes with chickens because ducks mating with chickens can cause problems.

I have always kept ducks and chicken together. I separate broody duck from chickens, because chickens will ignore the momma's warnings, chase her off, then scratch up the nest and eat her eggs. I have had hens think they are ducks to! Lol! So cute!

I have a huge dog crate with a divider I plan on putting 2 female ducks in there for hatching eggs I have to block off a little area is the run so the males can’t get in
