Hi there, in response to all these questions.... I had two ducks and two chickens. one of both died. The duck and chicken became best of buddies. That being said, I now have 8 hens, 1 year old. Just bought two ducklings. They are not that old yet, about the size of a big black bird. So I took them out and let them in the coop with the chickens. All was well until today, they both were pecked and pecked and lots of blood.
I took them out, birds stress easily and go into shock and die quickly. Went to TSC and bought some spray for the wounds.
Long story short, if they survive, I'll put them back in with the Chickens. They all do well together - especially when the ducks grow as big as the others.
good luck
