We are located in Washington Court House, Ohio and we need to get rid of one male silkie, two male black Australops, and three male pekins. All but the silkie have great personalities. We want to have only female birds and were unable to get sexed birds from Tractor Supply this past spring...

Thank you for getting back with me! I hate the idea of doing it, but want everyone to be safe and happy.

I have been reading these posts because I have been having the same problem. We have three male Pekins, one female and two female mallards. The males were taking turns with the two mallards until recently. I know that one male is more aggressive than the rest and he has started going after the...

I appreciate the warning more than you know. You are correct, having ducks has been a challenge. I wouldn't trade it for the world, though! They are so cute and funny to watch. They are making great pets, we just need to get over this hump. The last thing I want is to have any of our critters...

That makes sense - I didn't think about it that way. We are splitting the run today so they can see each other but not touch. We had already discussed separating the roosters with another coop and adjoining run, so we will use the new area for the "get to know you" phase and then switch them out...

Thank you for the advice. I have four pekins and one didn't really pay attention to the mallards when we put them in the pen. Maybe the other three are males? I can't tell the difference. We are splitting the duck house and enlarging/splitting the run tomorrow to enable them to see each other...

We bought all of our critters from tractor supply and the people there said it shouldn't be a problem adding the new ones to the brood since the others weren't that much older. We will try splitting the runs in half so the new birds can see the old ones and see how that works out. Thanks for the...

I am having the same problem. I have three pekins (not sure if they are boys or girls) and am trying to introduce two mallards to the mix. The pekins are only two months older than the mallards. When we put the mallards in the pen, the pekins immediately went after them. We ended up having to...

We are having a similar issue. Our older chickens are two months older than the new ones, and immediately went after the new ones when we put them in the coop. We tried it for a few hours and will try it again tomorrow. We are hoping they all get along, but the older ones were pecking at the...

Hello! We are new to having ducks and chickens. We have a mixed group of chickens that are a few months old that we would like to add two black australops to. The other chickens tried to attack the new ones. Will they get along in time? We also have three pekins that are a couple of months...
