Yes, it will not hurt them. Ducks are often kept with chickens and they share grains. Keeping the chickens on a regular diet of duck specific grains is not a good idea as the nutritional needs of the species are slightly different. You will not get your best growth and egg production from hens fed this way.

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.
