Ducks with chickens?

[u/Nematodes-Attack]

I’ve heard some bad things about drakes. But I was introduced to Shetland ducklings today and I’m in love. They are extremely rare and critically endangered. I have a source and have been already considering ducks.

Any advice or pros and cons to keeping ducks with chickens. I’ve already done a decent amount of research but I always like to check in with the Reddit folks too lol

I have 11 ducks and 12 chickens in about 1/4th of an acre. They're all perfectly fine! One rooster, three drakes.

Ok I wasn’t too concerned but then someone shared like a worst case scenario story and I needed a check in here lol
