We just got 4 older runner ducks (5 months I believe) and 2 baby runner ducks (10 days). We have been keeping them seperated by a fence, but they seem literally desperate to be together. The problem is they are still quite skittish of us and when they are together, the adults trample the babies whenever they get frightened (which is frequently lol). I just feel bad that they are literally spending all their time at the fence trying to get to one another. This is what they look like most of the time. Just laying there beside one another on either side of the fence... Any advice? Should I move the babies where they can't see the adults? Let them mingle?? Just be patient??? Thanks!
