Housing Ducks

[genberry]

We're considering adding some ducks to our chicken flock. Can we get a couple ducks (or 1?) and house them/raise them with the chicks? Or do they need their own coop?

I have ducks and chickens. I don't keep them together and never will. Only when a broody hen is hatching chicks.

They are very different. It is better and more easy not to have them together.

And never have just 1 duck. Not even if they live with the chickens.

Ducks don't need much of a house anyway.

I have ducks and chickens. They have seperate coop and duck house to sleep in at night but they free range together in the day.
