Adding new ducks

[Maleficent265]

I have a female Pekin who is about 4 months old. She free ranges with some chickens. And has been the odd ball out.

Well I hatched her out some more ducks. They are about half her size and are 3 weeks old now. I have been letting them out to free range with her. They sleep in separate pens side by side.

They do fine during the day. But she still seems to prefer the chickens to the ducklings. Which is fine. I get it! but my question is, when can they be housed in the same pen at night?

OH HOW CUTE!!!
so I think keep doing what you’re doing for a couple of weeks and then it should be OK

Are your temperatures warm enough for the ducklings? If so they can be together any time, but don't expect them to make a tight bond soon.
