could use some advice.
3 years ago, I took on 6 ducks my neighbor bought on Craigslist. 4 drakes, 2 ducks. I raised 4 khaki girls 2 years ago, but unfortunately 2 of them have passed, one to a wasp sting, one to reproductive issues.
The older ducks, of which I still have are 2 runners, one khaki drake. The older ducks have always been kinda cruel to the younger girls, who are actually quite sweet.
Since the younger girls are so close, I think if something happened to one of them, the other would be devastated.
I am thinking about getting more khaki ducklings this spring. My hope is that this would provide more friends for the 2 younger khaki girls.
Would this be true? Or would the slightly older khaki girls be hostile to the younger ducks.
Please share your experience with this...thanks!
