adding 2 new ducks

[redstarbill]

I have 2 pekins about a year old, male and female. I will be getting 2 more female ducks 1 pekin and 1 mallard. both are younger, will they get along any special considerations?

I'm by no means an expert, but I've never had any trouble introducing adult Runners to the flock. I started with 2 males and when one of them was killed I got a pair of older ones. There was a bit of "posturing" but they got along fine after a couple of hours and flocked together as if they'd been life-long friends.

6 months later I got an adult (female) fawn runner and was worried how she would integrate with the established 3. I did all the right things - put her in the pen so they could get to know each other through the fence for a short while but then risked letting her join the others. No problems at all, she was running with them right away.

I've added and subtracted a few since then with no issues at all.
