It will take time. I'm sure she is a bit scared with a new environment and new pals to get used to.

My chickens didn't mind when I introduced the runner ducks to their pen. If your chickens are used to ducks, they probably won't even pay attention to the new duck. When you have aggressive ducks, if needed separate. But, sometimes it works and sometimes it's an act of dominance. You just need...
