Ducks living with a bantam?! Help please!

[buff goose guy]

They can be violent and could kill the bantam but if you have enough ducks the male would very unlikely even pay attention to the bantam, but if it becomes to big of a problem and you cannot decide what to do id recommend trying to reintroduce the bantam back to the chickens but like slowly so it can get established in a pecking order.

I have never kept chickens and ducks together. But, it seems to me that the best companion for your bantam hen would be a couple of more bantams. It is a fact that drakes can damage chicken hens by trying to breed them. I also think it would be a mistake to put the ducklings in with the hen while they are are babies. Most hens have zero tolerance for babies that want to snuggle with them.

Ok but this hen is really friendly I don't think she would hurt the ducklings... we will see

Do you have a backup plan if the ducks and chicken don't work out together?

Yes I will either get the bantam a friend or make her a house chicken
