Hi,
I’m new to this online forum stuff and hoping someone can help me with the ducklings that I have. My family and I hatched out 8 ducklings recently and are looking to keep two of them and give away the rest. However, my sister is concerned that they can’t be separated from each other and should stay all together. We currently have three adult ducks and would add the two we want to keep with them but don’t have enough backyard or coop space to keep more than two. We also hatched them out in an incubator so they were not raised by their mother and we think they may have imprinted on each because of this. So is it bad for us to separate two of them from the other six? Could that have bad consequences or will they eventually get used to it without the others? They are about three weeks old and are a mix of Khaki Campbell’s and Indian Runner ducks.
I appreciate any help or experience anyone has with this! Thank you!
