Hi I have 4 khaki cambells(1 male and 3 female) I also have 6 chikens( 1 male 5 female.) I have 3 black sex link hens, 1 rir hen, 1 golden death layer hen, and 1 welsummer hen. I got these chickens and ducks at the beginning of May. When will they kay eggs. Also I put some pictures of their enclosure let me know what you think

It’s a great size enclosure, good water, but that coop doesn’t look very predator proof. Is it only chicken wire??
I imagine the chickens could also hop the fence quite easily if they wanted to.

Please watch close and make sure your male duck does not attempt to mate your chickens.. a duck mating a chicken can be deadly.

I’m not sure about chickens, but ducks can start laying as early as 4 - 5 months and will lay more consistently by 1 year.

At night time I put all the birds in a secure wooden coop but I let them roam in the morning.

Should I separate the chikens and the ducks. They have been living with each other since the day they hatched. Idk if the duck will try to mate with the chickens
