Yes ducks sleep, they will generally sleep in the night, with their head and beaks under a wing and hidden from predators.

Most will sleep on the water because it is difficult for a predator to reach them.

Saying first, that you're not a hunter, I'll answer this question.

Ducks sleep whenever and wherever they want to. It is usually around water and, yep, they nap whenever they feel like it.

White Pekin ducks lay down to go to sleep. As do Mallards. Muscovy Ducks will roost in trees to sleep. I don't know about other breeds. Hope this helps.

Ducks like to sleep in confined areas such as tightly in grass or next to its mother. I have also found out it likes to sleep in fabric or other materials of that sort.

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.
