Would chickens attack a duck if it was introduced into their territory?

[flowersinthewind]

or do they live happily together ?

They will a bit at first but they soon settle down and go their own way. You cannot house them together as they have different requirements

They may at first but if they have enough space they get along fine. I would keep them in the same coop as the chickens will sleep on a roost off the floor and ducks sleep on the floor. I would fence the ducks from getting under the chicken roosts so they will not get chicken poo on them.

They might do, depends how many chickens you have and how placid they are? Never introduce 1 duck on its own its cruel to expect a duck to live without other ducks for company. Obviously it will need a pond of some description and chickens can drown in water more than 8 inches deep (this happened to one of my chickens).

To be honest ducks poop a lot and dabble a lot, they make mud out of everything, I kept chickens and ducks together for 2 years and they wrecked the chicken pen, I sold them last summer and still the pen is still mud. I would advise keeping ducks and chickens separate.
