In the Brooder
Some of my friends are getting their ducklings today, and, one of the four I had bought recently had died. They're encouraging me to get a new replacement duckling, but I'm not sure the other 3 with accept them.
The three I have are almost 2 weeks old, and they are all different breeds (1 Swedish Black, 1 Khaki Campbell, & 1 Ancona or Magpie). I'm planning on getting a new mallard duckling (who will only be a week old at most), which was the same breed of the one that had died, which I adopted with the others.
So, will they other 3 accept the new little guy? Should I just avoid getting the mallard all together, or do you think they will bond nicely? Thank you in advance for all answers!
