I have laying hens and ducks and they all live together in one coop. I haven't had a problem with them.
yes they can
I would say yes, I have drakes, and hen ducks living right in with my chickens. and do not have a problem. In fact one of the drakes thinks it's a chicken. He was raised from a baby with the baby chickens we got over a year ago. I also have 8 more ducks besides lucky ducky {thinks he is chicken} all living with 175 laying hens.
Yes they can, and will also sit on each others eggs if you require a foster mum. However, in my experience only the females will get on well... a rooster and a drake living together can cause problems.
YES! they can I used to have them together and they lived fine together and the hens still laid their eggs but it helps I found it helps out if you stack some hay bushels and put like some milk crates up on them with some hay in them and the chickens will lay there and that also makes sure the ducks wont step on the eggs by mistake (hope I helped)
Once I had a hen that was pregnant and it always acted funny around my duck and after it laid its eggs it killed my favorite duck. I was so mad I kicked the hen. so I'd say no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More on thisDucks and chickens do indeed get along fine, some squabbling happens but for the most part the birds enjoy or at least tolerate each other. Eggs can be hatched between species and the young often can be raised by whatever mother was sitting on the nest at the time. A young chicken will often enter the water along with it's "siblings" when the ducklings are first introduced to swimming.

Does straight run eggs mean that the ducks are allowed to breed with any other duck or are they still kept within their same breed so that the ducklings will not be hybrids?
Strait run means that they dont know if the eggs/chicks/ducklings are boys or girls.
Do ducks use their nest after the chicks have hatched?
Ducks typically abandon their nest once the chicks have hatched. The mother duck leads her ducklings to water and teaches them how to swim and find food, with the nest no longer needed for raising the chicks.
Do mother ducks eat the eggshells after ducklings hatch?
Not normally. If you take a look in a nest where the eggs have hatched the shells are usually in a zillion pieces in the bottom where they have been crushed by the adult and chicks while the chicks dry before leaving the nest.
Will bad eggs in a nest hurt the good eggs from hatching?
no, because they're in separate eggs, they cannot affect the growth of the chicks?ducklings inside other eggs.
