New to ducks

[jwells84]

Well for Easter my daughter got a gift certificate for couple of ducks... I am currently raising chickens so I'm hoping I can manage a couple of ducks.. but I'm wondering if I can keep them in the chicken house with the chickens when they are big enough or do they need their own place?

I have had a rouen with my chickens for a few weeks now...in the begining the chickens were pecking at them and "tackeling" them. They kind of go their separate ways until bed time. My chickens only peck them if the duck goes running by them very fast,im not sure why. But if you have a semi equal amount of chickens and ducks,it should be ok. I am getting more ducks to equal it out next week. Hope this helps
