young ducks

Hey everyone I have a quick question. I have two 10 week old harlequins and four adult khaki campbells Including a drake. They have all met through a fence and seem to accept each other. (Hang out and deliberately seek each other out) I have them separate though because I didn't know if the...

How/when should we introduce ducklings to chickens? We have 2 ducklings, pippa (golden 300) and poppy (rouen) that we got from tractor supply a little over three weeks ago. they were tiny, most likely less than a week old but were not sure. we estimate they’re 4-5.5 weeks old right now...
