Hello all!
I haven’t posted in a while, but I have come across an issue that I need some advice on.
I currently have a Rouen Drake and 4 Blue Swedish hens. They are about a year old and get along great. Today I went to my local feed store and they had a lone 14 week old silver appleyard hen. I had to bring her home.
I first put her in a pen in the yard where the other ducks could see her, but not touch her. After a few hours, I took her out of the pen to get a closer introduction. My Drake chases her down to get her away from the rest of the flock. She tries to follow them and then he chases her away again.
I want her to be accepted so badly, but it’s breaking my heart to see her quack as she follows the flock only to be chased off shortly after.
Does anyone have advice as to how I should help her be accepted?
Thanks!
