I’m curious

[MissFrizzletheChick]

I was just wondering out of curiousity if you can have flocks of different birds such as ducks and chickens together. This was just my brain off on an internal thought spiral, so don’t be afraid for anychicks life!

Many people do put them together, but it can get mucky.
Ducks love water - everywhere, chickens do not and the bedding can get saturated.
Turkeys should ideally not be kept with chickens b/c they can get 'blackhead' from chickens.
Guinea hens are ok, but not the males as they will chase the rooster down. They can get quite aggressive.
Plan on having separate areas for all of them except the Guinea keets. They will tend to roost better after being raised with chickens

Male ducks can harm hens, I would keep them separate.
