Can chickens and ducks share a nesting box?

Not ideally. Chickens want enclosed, elevated spaces. Ducks lay on the ground or in a corner. Offer both and let each bird choose.

Do ducks bully chickens (or vice versa)?

Sometimes. Ducks are bold and a little wild. Chickens are bossy. Most of the time, they ignore each other if they have space—but every flock is different.

Do I need separate feed for ducks and chickens?

Adult birds can share feed if you manage the water situation. But if you’re raising ducklings, they’ll need extra niacin added separately.

Can a single duck live with chickens?

Technically yes, but ducks are social. One duck among hens will likely be lonely and stressed. If you’re adding a duck, add at least two.
