Would it be ok to have a single female duck with hens?If your getting a duck. . plan on getting it some duck friends. If the duck is a drake. . plan on getting it 3 or 4 friends.
Ducks have slightly different needs than chickens and while a lot of people do house them together and make it work. . it's not always the best idea. Male ducks without enough females can injure or kill a single female, and with no female around will likely try to mate the hens which is not good either.
Ducks need a water source deep enough to dip their entire heads in, and will make a mess of any water they find and will get everything around it wet.
Just some things to think about.
