Is this a thing that can be done? I just had my entire hen house broken into and everything but two hens torn apart including my two turkeys. My guess is coon. My duck that I have has fought off two cats and still hasn't gotten all of his adult feathers. (Decided to run right outside at them) I was wondering if I could keep him in there with the hens.
 
I house my Muscovy ducks with my chickens. The get along fine. The biggest issue is water. Ducks will trash any open water, and chickens need access to clean water. I use nipple waterers for this reason, and keep a large container of water outside for the ducks.
 
My muscovy ducklings (8weeks) keep "Goosing" my chickens. The chickens aren't very happy about that.
