I have 17 ducklings that I have been integrating with 6 adult ducks. They are now comfortably sharing their run and the free range but they are kept separate at night...in the same coop but with a divider between the two groups. When I moved them out to the coop it was with this divided area in...

The Cayuga ducklings have been outside, after the adults go out to forage, several times now and they really enjoy it. As for not letting them in the pool until they are older...well, did you ever try to get between a duck and water...They love the pool even at 4 weeks old. It is warm enough...

O.K. So this a.m. I went out to let the adult ducks out of their coop. The duckling nursery is in the same coop but fenced off so that they can all see and hear each other in the hope that some day they will be able to share space without killing each other. So, I opened the door and was almost...

I have learned that, despite the cuteness factor of ducks, they can be incredibly violent toward each other. I have a cousin that has a large ranch in the Texas Hill Country and he has just about everything living except ducks. He claims that he has never seen a flock of ducks that did not get...

As funny as ducklings are and as beautiful as Cayuga's are when fully grown their interplay with an existing adult flock (mini though it may be) is half the fun of what is going on around here. The circus to come will, I am sure, be fully reported here as it happens. Of course the bigger circus...

Update with better pictures of my 18 Cayuga ducklings. They had their second outing into the great outdoors this a.m. and were much more relaxed. Ran around as a flock (I know the proper name is a brace of ducks, flock is only if in flight but flock works for me). Interestingly the adult ducks I...

Well they had their first outing. We let the adults out into the range area then let the babies out while I cleaned out the duck pen. They all stayed together and a couple of the adults came over to the fence to check them out in the daylight (they have only seen them inside under artificial...

Ms Lydia, as always, your suggestions are right on. I sort of thought as much but wanted to check first. We will try this tomorrow or Saturday a.m. as I have to take Duke to the vet...he got a spider bite to the nose and is not comfortable at all. Also, we have a barn next to the existing duck...

I need some advice on introducing ducklings to adult ducks. I have six adults (male and female Blue Swedish, female Cayuga, male and two female Khaki Campbell ducks) that are about 18 weeks old. I also have 18 Cayuga ducklings (15 female 3 male) that are 3 weeks old. The ducklings are currently...
