New to chicken and ducks

[newchicksnducks]

Thanks for the welcome! I'm new to the feathered world. My pre-vet 19 yr old college daughter and wanna-be farmer 14 yr old son convinced us to add chickens and ducks to our 2 acre property. We also have 1 golden retreiver 2 cats (one came to dinner 4 years ago and never left ) plus fish. I run a home day care with children newborn through 1st grade. My husband has revamped our childrens club house (8x8) and we hope to move our 7 week old Khaki Campbell ducks (female) and 3 week old Americauna pullets in soon (pullets when older though). Hopefully they will be able to live in the same coop...if not we may have to put an addition on! Any info on them living together would be appreciated!

We have ducks and chickens. Every now and then the ducks will grab a chicken by the tail feathers and move them if they dont clear out of the way from blocking the pool. But for the most part they all get along.

from NJ We have duck and guineas housed together with no problem until the guineas eggs laying season started and our male guinea began attacking our drake. We just started with chickens, so I can't answer how well they will get along. They are a lot of fun though. Enjoy!
