You can definitely keep your ducks and chickens together. We have for years. Chickens can drown in a pool but get the one that is about 4-5 inches deep. The ducks can swim and chickens can stand in it. Make sure you put a little ramp to get out of it as well as in it. Our chickens and ducks freerange during the day but we lock them up at night. Our ducks eat the same cruble as the chickens. They really like brown banana peels. It is very important to make sure they have fresh drinking water. When you clean out the pool they swim in you can use that water on plants. It is high in nitrogen and really help plants grow big. We keep our ducks in the brooder box until they are feathered. I hope I have been helpful!

Well....our Muscoveys sit out all night together under the tree in the chicken pasture....
we have large wading pool in the pasture for them, the chickens have the same access to it as they have....and we find the chickens sitting on the edge all the time.
