Chickens only lay eggs. Baby chickens (chicks) hatch from those eggs and grow up. If the eggs are not fertilized, however, then they will not hatch. Those are the ones that are eaten.
Do dogs and baby ducks get along?
Ducks will pick on baby chicksI bought some baby chickens and ducks (and geese) last year and they all get along. I kept them together when I first brought them home, but after a few weeks, the ducks started picking on the chicken's feathers. So, I separated the chickens from the ducks and when they were all old enough, I let them all run free on my farm. The ducks (and 1 goose) run together and the chickens have their own separation of groups. They all eat together and of course the ducks and the goose eat first, but I put food out in several piles (since I have 31 chickens). I did adopt 1 large duck (who is 2 years old) and was not raised with my babies and he sometimes chases the chickens away from the other ducks, but nothing really bad. I am pleased that my dogs and cats don't bother my chickens and ducks either. I am getting more chickens and ducks this year, so I will let you know if I have further problems. Hope this helps someone. Thanks.

Do fully grown chickens attack baby ducklings if they are put together?
It's nearly guaranteed that they will kill the ducks, especially baby ones. They are different animals completely. My hen hatched her own chick and the others killed it two days later... If they will kill their own, they will kill ducks, too.
Can you house chicks and ducklings together?
I have laying hens and ducks and they all live together in one coop. I haven't had a problem with them.yes they canI 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.
