Adding 5 week olds to 15 week olds

[Welshies]

Oh one thing I noticed just now... Why do you have 2 drakes and 2 females that are 15 weeks old? That ratio isn't correct...

I meant to get 3 females and 1 male but realized at 8 weeks that there were 2 drakes. Im trying to add more females in hopes that I dont have to rehome one. I asked a question on a muscovy facebook group right after I realized I had 2 drakes and what I should do. Most people said since they were raised together they might be fine and some people telling me they even had more males than females and it works for them so just wait and see if problems happen. If I could find a pet home for one I would, but don't want them to be eaten.

I stayed outside with them for an hour and a half without much progress. I will try again on a day I have more time to supervise.

I asked how many more females I should get and this was the advice I was given so I decided to just get 2 females for now.

Update- I got another 8 week old female and a 10 week old from the same people I got the first 4. The 2 males had to live in the pig barn for a few days but all seems to be going well for now!
