Hi, Im new to the whole chicken and duck raising! I currently have a chicken flock of 12 and 2 muscovies that were all raised together. Next spring I am looking to get new fowl (2) and im looking at ideas on what to get! I currently have a 48sqft coop that my 12 chickens and 2 ducks live in with a 500sqft enclosure. I really love my ducks and looking more towards another type of duck, I found that Asian Geese are super cool but dont know the first thing about them (if they can co-habitate and what they need) im looking for fowl that do well with ducks and chickens that can share the same enclosure and even if possible live together in the same coop or if not live in a smaller coop than the one i have now! Thanks :)
 
For ducks I would suggest swedish they are so cute and pretty docile, pekins are pretty fun too other than the teenage stage of molting, my three all got really bloody scraggly wings while growing out their feathers it was horrible. And geese from personal experience I would be very weary when I got my ducks we were planning on brooding them with the geese but they got very aggressive especially our female they were literally only a week older. And now as adults the male is pretty aggressive to most people except me, and the female ended up killing one of our little swedish boys about a month ago “defending” her pool. :hmm
