It's possible but not ideal to have ducks and chickens in the same setup. For one, ducks add a lot of moisture which bad for chickens especially in winter. Also they might not end up getting along with each other. If you do end up getting ducks only get hens, if a drake tries to mate with a chicken hen he'll likely kill her

I started out with all ducks and then my son gave me a few chickens, and I had them all together for a while because I did not have any drakes at that time. But now I have my chickens separate because they did not get along with the Ducks.
