can a 2 week old duckling go with a 5 day old duckling?

So we have a solo duckling and we know someone selling ducklings but the youngest they have is 2 weeks. Would it be okay to have a 5-day old duckling with 2 week old ducklings? Or should I just raise her solo and buy eggs instead ^^'

I believe you would be okay, maybe do a see-but-don't-touch introduction for a few days. I had 3-day-old goslings in with 1.5 week old goslings and they got along fine (I did not do an introduction, either). Hope this helps!

They should be fine. I have had a lot less issues integrating ducklings at different ages than I have with chicks.

Okay thank you!! ^^

Turns out they actually have a day old duckling at the moment. I assume it'd be the same, a day old duckling and a 5 day old duckling should be fine together, correct?

Even better! Your 5 day old will likely be happy to have a friend and get along right away.
