Adding ducklings

[Ravynscroft]

It might take a bit, but you should keep her separate but very close to them... so s/he can hear and see them to get to know that they're part of the flock... as for the protectiveness, just time will hopefully work that out...

Ok, next question. I forgot to mention that i have an African goose that was a surprise addition to my original duckling order. She/he is 2 and grew up with the Pekins. She keeps chasing the new ducks around! I seperated her now, but that cant be a perminate solution.... she's also being very protective of them with me....

Where did you think the term Mother Goose comes from??? They protect..Separate it for a bit of time.
It will workout.

Bribing a bird, Chicken or Duck will not work.
Put them out and sit with them...They will get it. And love you for it!
Never coddle a Duck..They are tough little buggers and love to explore.

Enjoy your Birds. I sure do!
