We keep our ducks and Chickens in the same big fenced off area and there have never been any issues. Recently we added a flock of 8 bantams to the area and yesterday one of the bantams was found drowned in the big tub that acts as a pond for the ducks. Very sad.

Anyone have any ideas to stop the bantams drowning themselves ? Or do you think we need to separate them again?

Sounds like the bantam was spooked and flew into the water Greengumbo. My thoughts are to keep them separate because I know from experience ducks can be very aggressive to chickens.

I agree.

My money is on the ducks having drowned the bantam. I'd separate them.

My ducks ear the tails of the bantams so separated them
