adding two rouen to four Pekin

[EmilyMary143]

We currently have four Pekin ducks about 5 weeks old. My husband decided to buy two rouen just because he always wanted them. They where just hatched a day before. Would they be fine with the Pekin ducks? Or should I keep them separate?

Yeah Rouen's and pekins are relatively the same size so it'd be fine if you kept them together

I wouldn't, that is a big size different and they need to be kept at a higher temp than 5 week olds.

Once they grow up they should be fine, but I'd be really concerned about the younger ones getting picked on or trampled by the 5 week olds. There is a HUGE size difference.

I have adult rouens and pekins living together just fine. But I probably would keep them seperate until they are little bit older bc Pekins get HUGE quick, and can be a little clumsy due to their size! Congrats on the babies! I love my Pekins, friendly and full of personality
