Ducks can generally get by on chicken food, but do better on a game bird or meat bird feed, which is a little higher in protein I believe.

What is the best method of separating food for chickens are ducks?

I am assuming you want to know how to keep your chickens from eating the ducks food and the ducks from eating the chicken food. First ands easiest way is to keep the ducks separate/feed separate. If this is not possible and they free range together try placing the ducks food in an area surrounded by water, adult chickens by nature don't like to get wet, ducks do. If the duck food is only accessible by crossing a water barrier then the chickens will stay out of it.


Will ducks sleep in a chicken coop with chickens?

Yes. Ducks and chickens are often housed together in the same pens and coups. Remember that ducks do not roost on perches, but on the ground. The floor of the coup needs to be dry and clean for this reason. Also, there needs to be a place for the ducks that is not directly beneath the chicken roosts. I have raised chickens and ducks together for a few years and have had no problems.
