You are exactly right drumstick diva I thought about it and im going to be getting rid of two of my roosters and keeping the nicest one, and for the most part, when I put them all together they really did not like nor hate each other so thats a good sign right?
 
That is good, but their reaction out there compared to what it will be inside the coop is usually different as it is the chickens territory. How big is your coop? The mess will get to be a real problem if you font have a lot of extra room. Also, do whatever you can to keep the coop dry if you do put them together. The drier it is, the better it will be for you and your animals.
 
Well again, I wouldn't do it myself just because I have a bunch of extra space, but if you need to, I guess you could try. You will probably need to do some redesigning to make the living comfortable for all your animals, being that ducks are unbelievably messy. You will need better drainage for the ducks than for the chickens. Again, if you don't keep it dry, neither you nor the chickens and ducks will be happy. Well, maybe the ducks will be ;). See what other people think, but I think you could do it with a lot of upkeep and some good drainage. Also, it will depend on how the animals get along with each other. Good luck!
 
So I know SwedishDude99 said that a rooster may try to mate with a call hen, but will a drake of a larger breed of duck (i have two cayuga drakes and two buff drakes) try it?
